From a maverick film group, Breaking the Box Productions, comes a new
independent, digital film. Aloy Adlawan, writer and producer, leads a
pack of young filmmakers in Condo, a neo-magic-realist-sci-fi-drama
about a young security guard who has to deal with his lost sense of
being and his encounters with people in the condominium where he is
assigned.
The film stars Coco Martin fresh from his critically acclaimed
independent features- Adolf Alix's Tambolista, Neal Tan's Ataul for
Rent, and Brilliante Mendoza's Tirador. Veteran actress Perla
Bautista leads the ensemble of fine performances in major supporting
roles, along with seasoned theater actors Arnold Reyes and Diana
Malahay and showbiz personalities Avi Siwa, Chx Alcala, Vice Ganda,
Love Thadani, and Jao Mapa.
Condo is directed by promising young director Martin Cabrera.

"Coco Martin is an amazing actor," writer/producer Aloy Adlawan
declares. "He is very sensitive and creative about his craft. He is
organic. He knows how to use his body, especially his eyes, to convey
his inner demons and conflicts even without saying a word. His work in
CONDO is so far the most impressive, the most layered I've seen
compared to his earlier works."
Coco Martin does feel the pressure of topbilling a film like CONDO. It
is his film after all. He realizes he is no star but he feels very
confident about his work here and especially with the solid
performances of his ensemble support- Arnold Reyes, Diana Malahay, Avi
Siwa, Chx Alcala, Vice Ganda, Jao Mapa, Love Thadani, and Perla Bautista.
CONDO is produced by a new group of filmmakers who are bound by a
collective passion about the craft. Aloy Adlawan leads the crew as
writer and producer of their first offering. Martin Cabrera was handed
down the job of directing. Jeyow Evangelista brought his camera to the
set as Cinematographer, Rona Lean Sales sat down as editor, Raymund
Cruz coordinated the Production Management work.
On January 23, CONDO will have its first week-long theatrical run at
the Indiesine theater in Robinson's Galleria. Indiesine is a theater
managed by the Independent Filmmakers Cooperative (IFC) under the
auspices of the Robinson's Movie World management. CONDO kicks off
Indiesine's first quarter with an impressive indie line-up which
includes Jade Castro's 2007 Cinemalaya entry, Endo, Jun Lana's
Roxxxanne, and Ellen Ramos/Paolo Villaluna's Selda.
