Transformers, because as you would soon hear from our latest podcast, our two guests are who they are and where they are right now because, at one point in their recent lives, they made a fateful decision to pivot into a new, uncharted direction, risking the fear of the unknown for a chance to find their bliss--as they have, happily.
I'm talking of award-winning movie producers/filmmakers Raymond Lee (Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros, Zombadings I: Patayin si Shokot si Remington) and Alemberg Ang (Ang Panggagahasa Kay Fe, Ang Sayaw ng Daliwang Kaliwang Paa), two fab individuals who are proof that going for your dreams may not make you necessarily rich, but will certainly make you happier, more productive and more fulfilled. In the case of Raymond, that has meant a major major--as in bonggang bongga--transformation in mindset, lifestyle and fashion sense. On Alem's part, it has required, at the very least, abandoning his former teacher's life for the thrill of bringing his and bosom friend Alvin Yapan's dream indie movies to life.
Of course, we had an ulterior motive, too, for interviewing these two. They're behind the two movies (Ang Sayaw ng Daliwang Kaliwang Paa and Zombading) that The Love Yourself Project will be featuring back-to-back in a fund-raising screening later tonight, Tuesday, at SM Megamall Cinema 9. But bago 'yan, tara na't makihuntahan!
