Kip Oebanda says “Nay” is not your ordinary aswang movie

By Archie Liao

First time ng magaling na director na si Kip Oebanda na gumawa ng horror film at ito ay sa pelikulang ‘Nay” na kalahok sa ika-13 edisyon ng Cinemaone Originals. “Actually, super fan ako ng horror films.It’s my favorite genre,” pakli nya.

Walang takot at kakaiba ang tagline ng Cinemaone Originals ngayong taon at hindi raw pahuhuli ang kanyang obra sa pagiging matapang na ibang-iba sa mga horror films na napanood na natin. “Lately, a lot of horror films that we have are ‘gulat’ or normally a series of deaths or there are a lot of shocks. This one is almost a throwback to the older horror films in the sense that it has a lot of gruesome visuals and the tension. I don’t use or barely use, if any, CGIs in the film so puro siya practical effects. I tried to limit myself to the tools that are available to me as a filmmaker,” aniya.

May mensahe rin daw ito sa mga karahasang nagaganap sa bansa. “Fearless siya in its pananakot. It reflects a lot of my thoughts about Philippine society. In the US kasi and to some extent sa atin, horror films have been used  to talk about the fears and paranoia that exist in a society. It’s a good tool to talk about the issues and not to scare people,” paliwanag niya. Nagsagawa rin daw siya ng pagsasaliksik sa kanyang main character na ‘aswang’.

“The aswang is mythological character. I took some creative license. The specific aswang I researched was iyong sa Mindoro na pag dinidikit nila ang tenga nila sa floor o sa wall, naririnig nila lahat including people’s heartbeats,” kuwento niya.

Not just an ordinary aswang story, may puso rin daw ang kuwento ng pelikula.

“ Madugo siya, it’s very bloody pero iyong main character dito has a heart. It’s because iyong role niya is carrying a mother figure to Enchong’s character. In a way, being a yaya is a façade to hide the aswang. It’s easy to hide pag ganoon kasi na na-attach ka sa inaalagaan mo. Kumbaga may nurturing yaya/mother iyong kanilang relationship. May ganoon silang connection sa kuwento,” esplika niya.

Saludo naman si Direk Kip sa kanyang cast na bukod sa magagaling ay napaka-professional. “Natapos kami ng almost ten days kasi wala akong naging problema sa kanila. Kapag dumadating na sila sa set, handa na sila. Masaya at magaan silang katrabaho kaya madaling natapos iyong film,” pagwawakas niya.

Tampok sa “Nay” sina Sylvia Sanchez, Enchong Dee at ang 2016 Cinemaone Originals best supporting actor na si Jameson Blake. (2 Cool 2 Be 4Gotten).

Ang “Nay” ay opisyal na kalahok sa 13th Cinemaone Originals na mapapanood sa Trinoma, Glorietta, Gateway, UP Cine Adarna, Cinema ’76 at Cinematheque Manila theatres mula Nobyembre 13-21 at sa Power Plant Mall mula Nobyembre  22-28.
