I see it as an opportunity for indie movies to gain more exposure.
Cinemalaya, CinemaOne and QCinema are already indie film festivals doing their job to expose indie movies.
The MMFF is not just for indie movies but for mainstream movies as well. What's different about the MMFF this year is they focus on quality, indie or mainstream, regardless of genre, rather than "box-office potential". Mainstream movies need to step up rather than just go auto-pilot on the usual Enteng movies and Vice Ganda trash.
Yun resolution ni Tito Sotto is very self-serving. It's clear that his brother's movie,
Enteng Kabisote 10 did not do as well in the box-office outside the MMFF. Why else would he file this bill? It's not out of concern for "the children" (ulol). It's concern for their pockets. They wanna keep making the same old trash without having to change their methods of pandering to the masses and just giving them what they think they want.
Pwede naman gumawa ng pelikulang maganda na pambata o pang-masa eh. Para sa akin, hindi excuse ang "pambata" para gumawa ng pangit na pelikula na basura.
