THE JANITOR
Directed by: Michael B. Tuviera, DGPI
In the morning of July 21, 2011, 10 bank employees were found dead inside Mabuhay Savings Bank in San Pedro, Laguna. Considered to be the bloodiest heist in the country, people shouted justice for the victims forcing the authorities to step-up on the case. They turn to Crisanto Espina, a cop who was suspended from the force and seeks to redeem himself, to secretly hunt down the suspects. He is focused to complete the mission assigned to him by his superiors. But as he pursues each suspect, Crisanto discovers the corruption hidden within the system that he once believed in.
Playing the role of Crisanto Espina is the award-winning actor, Dennis Trillo. To prepare for this very challenging role, Dennis underwent MMA training weeks before the shoot. He also interviewed actual modern day hitmen to help him understand his character better. He adds, "They, assassins, were just normal people, you wouldn't have known that they kill for a living. It was chilling meeting people like them, but I realized they were just as human as myself".
Joining him in this movie are a star-studded cast led by Richard Gomez as Rudy, Crisanto's boss and mentor, LJ Reyes as Melba, the loving wife of Crisanto and Derek Ramsay, as SPO3 Dindo Marasigan, one of the suspects that Crisanto needs to hunt down. Providing remarkable acting support to the film are Irma Adlawan, Alex Medina, Nico Manalo, Gerald Napoles, Raymond Bagatsing, Dante Rivero and Ricky Davao.
Directed by Michael Tuviera, and written by Aloy Adlawan, The Janitor is produced by APT Entertainment as a part of the Director's Showcase in the upcoming Cinemalaya.
"The Janitor" will be featured during the tenth year celebration of Cinemalaya from August 1 to 10, 2014 and will have a Gala Night on August 4, 6:15pm at the CCP Main Theater.
