The film’s working title is Huling Baylan ng Buhi (The Last Priestess of Buhi). It is about the conflicts faced by an ethnic family in the 80s in their attempts to keep the tribe’s tradition, which is threatened with extinction by outside influences.

its nice to see a growing indie film scene in davao. i wish the crew luck. im surprised that they chose a director who is so young. i wish this article gave a hint of his filming background.
hopefully, this artistic market will keep growing and that they stick to stories not from the mainstream. it would be great to see davao as a strong indie film hub in a few years.
not a big deal …
who says its not a big deal? do you have any idea how far behind we are in terms of film arts from other cities like cebu and manila? this is actually a BREAKTHROUGH for us davaoenos. There is a need for us to support this kind of projects since it projects our roots… NOT A BIG DEAL? SHUT UP!!!!!
