Festival Report - The 7th Cinemalaya Part 5: "I'm not a fan of films about filmmaking. In my experience, they're often too caught up in inside jokes to ever really be good. Though I can appreciate many things in Marlon Rivera's Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank, I don't think it really works as a whole. The film follows three would-be filmmakers as they set out to make their big indie debut, a poverty film called Walang-Wala. We see Walang-Wala take shape, with various directorial treatments overlaid on the same set of sequences. It becomes a docudrama, a musical, and at the behest of the film's star Eugene Domingo, it even becomes a mainstream melodrama.
