My Fake American Accent – Cinemalaya Movie Trailer

"My Fake American Accent" is an indie movie about the lives of call center agents. It was chosen as one of the ten finalists (out of 194 entries) in the 2008 Cinemalaya Film Festival happening on July 11, 2008.

Writer-director of this Cinemalaya entry Onnah Valera said, “I wanted to capture ang buhay na walang tulugan.”

Set in one of the high rises of the Makati, My Fake American Accent is a look into the lives of call center personnel. It’s a slice-of-life workplace comedy following the lives of several Technical Support call center agents in the span of six months. They handle calls and provide inbound tech support for the American customers of an Internet company in the United States. Speaking with a fake American accent is a prerequisite for the job. This ensemble comedy is an inside look into the maddening, sleep-deprived, caffeine-fuelled lives of those who ply their trade in the call center industry.
