The Sundance Film Festival opens Thursday, January 28. Unlike previous editions, this year s festival takes place virtually.
Another novelty comes in the form of
Excuse Me, Miss, Miss, Miss, which, according to its digital archives, is the first Filipino short film to ever play at the 43-year old festival.
From Southern Lantern Studios, an independent film outfit that has constantly swept local awards with films like
Women of the Weeping River and
John Denver Trending, comes this offbeat dark comedy about the banal lives of department store salespeople. In it, a contractual sales lady teeters between regularization and termination. The film itself teeters between the surreal and somewhat real, ultimately exposing the nature of labor practices in the Philippines.
