Call Me Papi: Relatable, right amount of wit
Director Alvin Yapan has entered the comedy box. From “Oro” and “Culion,” Alvin brought the whole barkada to laugh with his relatable movie “Call Me Papi,” showing in cinemas.
Produced by Feast Foundation and Viva, Yapan said in an interview, “Parati na lang mga seryosong pelikula, para naman hindi ako ma-typecast. Kaya ko namang gumawa ng isang magaang pelikula na mae-enjoy ng mga tao at pwedeng panoorin ng isang barkada.
“Challenge talaga ‘yun sa isang direktor na hindi ka lang sa isang type ng pelikula nakikilala, na may range ka rin naman bilang isang direktor.”
Yapan’s new film stars Enzo Pineda, Lharby Policarpio, Royce Cabrera, Aaron Concepcion, and Albie Casiño. This barkada movie is tribute to late producer Shandii Bacolod.
Royce and Lharby’s tandem surprised the audience. Enzo didn’t disappoint. Aaron was raw and honest. Albie gave justice to his character. Call Me Papi is still showing in cinemas. Produced by Feast Foundation, this barkada movie also stars Irma Adlawan and Katya Santos.
