‘Kasambuhay, Habambuhay’ Short Film Anthology Now Showing in Selected SM Cinemas

Oh! Pa Ra Sa Ta U Wa Yeah!
(directed by Jeorge Agcaoili)

The Clemente family is off to an outing but teenage son, Nicos (Neil Coleta), seems out of it. Nicos is besotted with his ladylove, Mattina (Colleen Garcia), whom he can’t quite figure out. The inside info that Nicos gets from Mattina’s younger sister, Bettina (Jillian Ward), doesn’t seem to be helping. Seeing his son’s despair, Nicos’ father finally shares to his son an ancient family heirloom. It is a 100-year old manual containing the secrets, alphabetically arranged, of how men in their clan courted women. Through this, Nicos finally learns what every man should know by heart — the ABC’s of what women truly want.

Downtown
(directed by: Stephen Ngo)

In a Chinese community in downtown Manila, we meet a man who has floated through life with his ladylove by his side. But now, times have changed as he begins each day waking up alone on his bed made for two. He realizes that his coffee has it better because, at least, it has a creamer to be its mate. In these moments, he misses his beloved the most and decides to get his act together for a second shot at the greatest thing in life— love.

Tingala Sa Baba
(directed by Henry Frejas)

In a typical playground, life plays a game of irony when two 8-year old kids are on a seesaw. One is a rather hefty child from a well-to-do family who is stuck at the bottom, whereas a lanky child brought up in poverty is on top. Rich kid is looking up to the poor boy, who in turn, is looking down on him. How will the rich kid reverse their positions? The answer to that question will make one realize that friendship is more valuable than money, while the other will discover his true worth as a friend.

Cooking Mo, Cooking Ko
(directed by Chris Martinez)

This comedic version of the classic “Romeo and Juliet” narrates the story of star-crossed lovers born into warring families who each happen to be proud owners of their own carinderias (local eateries) battling for their town’s cuisine supremacy. Old wounds are reopened among the Montano and the Capule families when the former’s loyal customers start patronizing the latter. Young lovers Romina Montano and Julius Capule are caught in this web of intrigue, espionage and extra rice.

Sign Seeker
(directed by Carlo Directo)

A superstitious guy, Bien (John Lloyd Cruz), seeks all sorts of “divine” signs that will determine his decision of asking the girl of his dreams (Solenn Heussaff) out on a date. The fear of rejection swallows him whole, making him justify his cause to seek for more unfathomable signs. But when each sign he asks for materializes, he soon learns that he has to be careful with what he wishes.

You can still catch all these “Kasambuhay, Habambuhay” short films at SM Megamall, SM Southmall, SM Rosales, SM Cebu and SM Davao. Admission is free!

    To everyone calling these short films flops, eww, walang dating, etc… You should’ve seen SM Megamall Cinema 3. First screening pa lang kanina, halos puno na ang loob. Several hours later, marami pa ring lumilinya for it and a lot of people were denied entrance dahil wala na ring space for standing. That’s how SUCCESSFUL it was.

    People, don’t knock it till you’ve tried it.
