00:00We're a big family. There's six of us.

00:02So, as the youngest,

00:04parents don't usually,

00:06parang hindi nila nahahanap yung youngest,

00:08di ba? He must be somewhere here in the house.

00:13So, but

00:14at least direct nakita nyo rin

00:16the pride that your parents had when

00:17eventually you showed them your first film.

00:20And my mom acted

00:22in a lot of my films before

00:24she passed away. Which films,

00:26direct? Growing up,

00:28she kept on telling us,

00:29watch Oro Plata Mata, I'm there

00:31as a labandera, ganang-ganang.

00:34So, I,

00:35when I became a director, I

00:37always use her

00:39for my movies.

00:42As an extra,

00:43as a, you know, as a guest,

00:45as a friend of the

00:47Nanay of the Bida.

00:49May TF naman yun, direct.

00:51May TF naman.

00:53Sobrang liit.

00:55Pero pamayag si Nanay.

00:57So, speaking of you casting

00:59your mom in a different

01:00films, direct,

01:01I remember, I read

01:02that you always

01:04base your characters

01:05on people you've

01:07either encountered

01:07or people that you know.

01:10So, because you

01:10like to make films that are

01:12really very character-driven.

01:13then, pag ganun ba, direct?

01:16Parang for me, that suggests

01:17that you're a very

01:18observant person.

01:20So, minsan ba, direct?

01:21Kung harin, nakikipagkwentuhan ka,

01:22you know, in a normal setting,

01:24parang you just pick up an idea

01:26or parang may flashbulb moment

01:27parang, ay,

01:28pwede ko itong i-incorporate

01:29itong character na to

01:30in my next film.

01:31Yeah, because it's really hard.

01:34I abide by whoever said it.

01:37I forgot, you know,

01:38by the filmmaker who said,

01:39film what you know.

01:41You cannot film what you don't know.

01:42Of course, there's another

01:43filmmaker also saying,

01:45in order to be always ready

01:48and careful,

01:49film what you don't know.

01:50Because then it forces you

01:52to study harder

01:53and figure out

01:54what you don't know

01:55and put it, you know,

01:57and find out more.

01:58So, those are two

02:00different schools of thought.
