Is truth stranger than fiction?
Finally, Mike de Leon's Citizen Jake is coming in big screen! Save the date- it's going to be shown on May 23 and will be released by Solar Pictures.
CITIZEN JAKE is the story of Jake Herrera, journalist
and estranged son of a powerful Philippine senator. More than anything, he
wants to prove he is not like his father. This has been the motivation for most
of his adult life’s decisions, from career choice to his attempt to build a
life for himself far away, in Baguio. But circumstances force him to try to
solve the brutal murder of a young, female student from the university he
teaches in. The investigation brings him on a path to encounter corruption and
to finally face his own demons.
Featuring real life journalist Atom Araullo, playing the titular hero, he is joined by a stellar
ensemble that includes Cherie Gil, Dina Bonnevie, Nonie Buencamino, Luis Alandy, Gabby Eigenmann,
Max Collins, Teroy Guzman, Lou Veloso,
Richard Quan, with Victor Neri, Allan Paule, Anna Luna, Elora Españo, Cholo Barretto, Raquel
Villavicencio, Nanding Josef, and
Ruby Ruiz. The screenplay is written
by Mike de Leon, Atom Araullo, and Noel Pascual.
My film may be fiction, but it is based on truths we ignore at our own risk. It should be seen by its audience in its original version, without cuts and without compromise. The film is not perfect, far from it, but it is a good honest film that is seeking an audience that I am convinced is out there. May you allow me to ask for your support?- Director Mike De Leon
