MOVIE SHOOT: Philippines - Origins of My Blood

These photographs are part of a humble movie production... Discovering the Source - Our journey back to the town of Talisay, Batangas, Philippines... where my father and aunts were raised, and my ancestors toiled, loved, created, died... where their souls linger in eternal bliss.

I am a Filipino-American, a card-carrying member of the cult of Western society. This movie, in part is a search for who I truly am, and how I can embrace that self once again. Mid-Summer 2005 my Father, Sister Rachel, and Independent Filmmaker David Macasaet traveled to my Dad's hometown to see my ailing 95 year-old grandmother and visit with other family. We also explored my Grandfather's life and legacy; he passed away in 1977, but clearly lives on to this day in spirit.

My brother and I shot 27 hours of footage for our upcoming documentary film on this spiritual venture. Along the way we discovered much about our own lives, dreams, and souls. Almost all of the places we visited and people we me were unplanned and unscripted... we simply followed the gentle hand of our forefather's living energy, being led from moment to moment by this unseen love.

Thanks for viewing. Please share your comments. Watch for the film soon. A Simple, early trailer VIEW TRAILER
