  • In the past, Erick Matti said that the Filipino film industry is in dire condition
  • Netizens have spoken that the repetition on the theme, storyline, love teams, poor effects, etc. makes the local movies flop
  • Other netizens also brought-up the expensive price of tickets
  • Filmmaker Mikhail Red posted recently on Twitter expressing his intentions of offering a different taste in the local movie scene
  • The said post gained mixed reactions, feedback, and insight

Recently, it has been a challenge to filmmakers and film productions in the Philippines to run long screening schedules in the movie houses due to lack of support from the local moviegoers. Another factor that affects the sale of the tickets is the ongoing monopoly of some movie outfits and movie houses.

Some Filipino filmmakers can’t help but post their sentiments and dismay on social media about the current condition of the local film industry. Feedback from the netizens has been a hot topic as some of them blamed either the theme, same cast, and other elements of the movies that they feel were being a repetition, one after another.

On March 3, Saturday, film director Mikhail Red posted on Twitter and said,

“Yung mga umaangal na nakakasawa na local movies dahil paulit ulit storylines, cheap daw yung effects, puro nalang loveteam etc, pag gumawa ba talaga kami ng bago at matatapang na film, manonood ba talaga kayo sa sinehan or Hollywood parin and sa pirated copy nalang yung samin? 🤔”

The brave question towards netizens who kept on complaining about the same storyline, poor effects, and same love teams gained mixed comments from the netizens. He also pointed out that piracy is quite a big factor for a movie not to earn profit.

A certain netizen also shared her insight and feedback toward the uniqueness of the storyline of the movie that she watched in the past.

While another netizen shared that the Filipino artistry is being patronized in other countries.

However, it seems that the feedback from the netizens centered on the output of formula films.

Feedback plays a vital role in everything that we do. Through it, we will be able to determine which one works. It’s a way of hearing the voices of the target group of your market/audience, for someone or something to last in the business.




With what Mikhail did, it’s good to know that he considered asking people and not just hear their sides but to make them feel involved in what he does.
