Joel Torre’s Cannes-do spirit

Actor Joel Torre, lead star of Erik Matti’s “On the Job,” will attend Wednesday’s opening of the prestigious Cannes film festival in France.

“It’s the ultimate dream of every Filipino filmmaker. We hope to get distributors for our film. Hopefully, we can also drum up interest in Philippine cinema there. After all, filmmaking is a business, too. The fest is not just about glamour. The next challenge is getting international release for our movies.” Bayani San Diego Jr.
