Dear (most) Pinoy movie directors,
PLEASE stop insulting the audience by making photocopied films. We, the audience, are not stupid. We don't want to see what we've already seen before. Please stop doing what Brocka, Bernal, and De Leon already did. Please stop copying other films, may it be a Hollywood classic, a hit Japanese horror movie, a French indie film, or whatever.
You are not a photocopier operator, you ARE filmmakers. And filmmakers cultivate their own ideas, so please do so.
We're not here to experience deja vu, we're here to see something authentic. Please try harder to make bona fide films. Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Your audience
