“Puti” Press Conference in Cebu
The invited personnel from the print and media were welcomed by an introduction from Mike Alcazaren talking about the film and how he managed to get Ian Veneracion to take the role of Amir Luna, a counterfeit painter who leads a reclusive life with his son, Jaime (played by actor Bryan Pagala). Alcazaren also mentioned that Puti was Veneracion’s first-ever indie film.
Released on September 18, 2012, Puti is a story about Amir Luna, who is a successful counterfeit painter. He has made a lot of money selling his forgeries in the art black market. But his life changes when he gets into a car accident with his 8-year old son. Amir survives the accident but suffers a head injury that renders him color blind. His son is comatose. His world collapses as he tries to overcome this twin tragedy. While recuperating, strange things start happening to him.
Jasmine Curtis Smith and Lauren Young also star in the film.
