one of the finest Production Designers was Fiel Zabat. his work in Mario o'Hara's Bakit Bughaw Ang Langit? (1981) is the stuff Filipino movies are made of. but he's also excellent in period films. who can forget Karnal's (1983) excellent design? and the re-creation of Manila circa 1960's in Alyas Baby Tsina (1984)? what about High School Circa '65 (1979)? even in films like Annie Batungbakal (1979), Bongga Ka 'Day! (1980), Ibalik Ang Swerti & Rock & Roll (both 1981). Fiel was also responsible for the look of Lino Brocka's Insiang (1976), Ang Tatay Kong Nanay (1978), Inay (1977) & Tahan Na Empoy, Tahan (1978). i saw him recently during a Q & A for a screening of Karnal last week. i told him how much i admire his work. here's hoping he would make another movie after American Adobo.
