PATULOY na pinag-uusapan ang Buy Bust ni Anne Curtis, na idinirehe ni Erik Matti. Lahat ng nakapanood ay humanga sa ganda at tapang ng pelikula. Ang iba, curious kung saan ang location nito, dahil hindi sila makapaniwalang may ganoong lugar sa bansa.

Anyway, may pahabol na mensahe si Direk Erik sa Buy Bust at maganda itong basahin.

“We offered the film in memory of a few special people who passed away during the making of the film. Checkie Lim was the PDEA consultant assigned to give us the hard truths about what goes on the ground in the drug war without prejudice to any sector affected by it. He was gunned down in front of his house two weeks after we finished shooting. He was with his wife after the wedding anniversary dinner.

“2. Noe Evangelita was one of our stunt guys who died during filming from an unknown disease that left him bedridden for weeks. He was the pana boy who shot Brandon (Vera) in the estero. He was a promising stunt guy who had a real presence on screen.

“3. Lupe Romulo was my number one fan. She’s the sister of #erwinromulo our musical director. She was looking forward to watching #BuyBust before she died.

“4. Baldo Marro was a legend. He was a fight and stunt director who has done hundreds if not thousands of Filipino films. And he’s a good actor too. He did the fight direction in our test shoot. And the last 3 names were the military soldiers who died in combat in Marawi.

“When Buy Bust started shooting, we used the fresh graduates of PMA in the scenes where the PDEA team of Victor Neri were training in a military camp. These soldiers were in the opening credits of the movie marching, training and running around the camp with the PDEA team. Shortly after we left SOCCOM where we shot those scenes, these PMA graduates were deployed to fight in Marawi. These were the soldiers who didn’t make it back.”

Palabas hanggang August 14, ang Buy Bust, dahil may 2018 Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino (PPP) na tatakbo mula Aug. 15-22. Sana nga, pagkatapos ng PPP ay ibalik sa mga sinehan ang pelikula para sa mga hindi pa nakapanood.
