What they're saying about Balay Daku:
Balay Daku is a VERY brave work. Very brave. I
watched it twice already. Cassavetes is alive.
Works like this will define the new direction of
Philippine Cinema. - Lav Diaz, Filmmaker
Congratulations on your work. It shows a style that
is not afraid to break away from the traditional,
Hollywood, and mainstream - Jeffrey Jeturian,
Filmmaker
The simplicity, the naturalness, the
unpretentiousness of it all...it was so refreshing.
Many times, the strokes were masterful. - Ellen
Ongkeko-Marfil, Director of the Digital
Film "Angels"
Shows the authentic life of the landed
Negrense...Very subtle, but very true...Its greatest
strength lies in the unsaid words. - Joel Torre, Actor
It hit me on many levels, being Ilonggo and from
Negros. - Ronnie Lazaro, Actor

I don't believe in characters. Characters connote something constructed. I like to see them as real people, where I can attempt to build an actual relationship with them. I must believe that they are alive. That is why I told the people in the film to live their own lives as they pleased, without regard for applause or boos or indifference.
-this is sooo JP. hehehe
