After I have missed the premier night of “The Thank You Girls” last August 28, 2008, I always waited for this film to shown last year pero bigo ako… I tried tried to research for this film or any blogs for that matter that talk about the film. Well luckily I found “http:// bebsisms.blogspot.com”. My new found friendship “Dam-dam” is the maker of this film. Finally this is going to be shown on the Robinson IndieSine from Jan 21-27, 2009. Here is the poster for this sure-fired-gloriously-funny film:
It is a Visayan film with a gay lingo twist. Tired of losing in all the beauty competitions in Davao City, five dysfunctional gay beauty pageant veterans decide to travel north to Cagayan de Oro City, in the island of Mindanao, with a mission to conquer the grandest competition of beauty, personality and brains in the province. They believe that being city dwellers, gays in the province will never stand a chance against them. And who says gay films are just sex films after all?

I totally agree… it is about time to see a fun and enjoyable gay film for once… Pwede ba tama na muna ang mga kalibugan ano. Gosh!!!
Not only are you assured of a fantabulous time, you‘re also watching a real quality film. Last October 2008, this film was one of the films in the Vancouver International Film Festival under the category Dragons and Tigers Award for Young Cinema. Taray diba…
While most Pinoy gay themed indie films showcase the cravings of the flesh, this film stood up to the occasion and finally presented a slice of life most gays encounter. It gives us also a different perspective of how gays in the province handle such difficult challenges. Cheers to Charliebebs S. Gohetia and the other actors and staff of TTYG.
As a final note… “Finally… I know how to define Darkness… it is what will happen when you will miss to watch this film”…. Hehehe. Thank You so much…
I’ll leave you guys with the Teaser Trailer of The Thank You Girls:
