PEP: Joel Lamangan directs his first indie movie

Joel Lamangan goes indie and DMV Entertainment tries producing in the movie Walang Kawala. Natuloy na ang shooting ng unang independent movie ni direk Joel Lamangan from the first-time producer Manny Valera under his company DMV Entertainment, which is more known in managing talents. The film's title is Walang Kawala. May nauna na actually natapos na indie movie si direk Joel, ang Fuschia, but this one is from the collaboration of the Director's Guild of Philippines (DGP), the other director's guild under the Film Academy of the Philippines; the other one being Kapisanan ng mga Direktor sa Pelikulang Pilipino (KDPP). A story of true love, rape, and revenge, Walang Kawala stars the two top male stars of DMV Entertainment na sina Polo Ravales and Joseph Bitangcol, with the special participation of Jean Garcia. Introducing in the movie is a new DMV talent na si Althea Vega. Makakasama rin nila ang mga non-DMV stars na sina Emilio Garcia and Marco Morales (of SOP's Showboys) under Leo Dominguez and the self-managed Paolo Rivero. Breaker ang Walang Kawala for Direk Joel who will soon start shooting Desperadas 2. Sa TV, he has started production for the next Sine Novela Una Kang Naging Akin starring Angelica dela Cruz, Wendell Ramos, and Maxene Magalona, and is one of the directors of the Thursday-night anthology Obra. - Philippine Entertainment Portal
