CACP is not your carboncopies of media-hyped favorably marketed program that are drenched with affectatious and capricious plots; a smorgasbord with superficial depth stories that jumble in clarity, coherence, simplicity and creative comprehensions.
This is goodbye to pretentious plots and gimmicks, of comics oriented twists and turns, of mad characters presented as heroes and heels analogous to people you and I know, governing around.
Inspirational, original, extraordinary human beings get close up prominence.
This format is about man's quest for self, his trial and endurance and survival. The experience of getting in touch with self. His connection between mind, body, spirit. His long journey to life that are revealing and at all times amazing. We show how people progress according to what they're ready for, and fail for what they are not; his relationship not only with himself but with his friends and foes, with the world and with God.
" CELSO AD CASTILLO PRESENTS " can be tall tales of pychic phenomenon, prophesies, superstition and the outerspace. It can be Hitchcock and X-files; history of Philippine heroes, the flamboyance and electricity of Baywatch. It can be our social and economic problems relegated to the wage earners and domestic helpers. It can be the fragments of the colonials that passed but refused to die; the diminishing attitudes of the characters of the maligned era of the dictator; the land grabbers of government properties; squatters who never worked for these lands often really owned by conscientious working pinoys for the future of their own families.
It can be a simple story of a lonely spinster and her gardener and pet dog or a life underground seeking truth and justice. The solitary life of a religious man and his secrets. The conscience of a filthy rich. The contentment of a simple laborer, housemaid, vendor. The creative and perverse persona of an artist. The madness of a superintelligent. The travails of an ambitious lowly businessman to the top. The trials of a disabled to overcome his incapacity and inability. The tribulations of a single parent, of a prostitute, of a homosexual, of a couple living together for 50 years with no genuine love but understanding and respect; the thoughts of an addict, an alcoholic, a pervert, a psycho.
" CELSO AD CASTILLO PRESENTS " is character oriented, not the mainstream soap opera maestras. It is dazzlingly, electrifyingly real. It may be a testimonial of a ghost or the ghost of our past. It can be the story of an ET in the minds of the so-called clairvoyants and alpha travelers; premonitions, witchcrafts, apparitions – the true stories.
These are only some of the gleaming attractions of our TV mini movie plus the distinct casting of characters. We appropriate guests, cameos, special roles for special people like – politicians, religious leaders, film directors, producers, journalists, newscasters, sportsmen – all prominent in their field, with real people doing their things as background.
" CELSO AD CASTILLO PRESENTS " is trendsetter, diverse. It is educational, entertaining and definitely controversial in essence and in filmmaking techniques.
