US film ‘The Thief’ shooting in Manila

Nathan Adolfson’s “The Thief, the Kid, and the Killer” is currently filming in Metro Manila and has tapped an all-Filipino cast led by Epy Quizon, Lance Raymundo, Felix Roco, Joy Viado and child actor Arvy Viduya.

Quizon noted that Adolfson is “meticulous.” “We’d think it was a simple scene, but the director would shoot it over and over again.”
Raymundo agreed: “We do only one scene a day. Two scenes, maximum. We also rehearse before the cameras roll.”
