Buding Ang Babayi nga Naglutaw

Sagaynon film enters Sine Negrense 2019

A short film created and produced by a team from Sagay City is one of the finalists of this years, Sine Negrense, Negros Island’s biggest film festival.

“Buding Ang Babayi nga Naglutaw” is a film written and directed by Mark L. Garcia, which was produced by the City Government of Sagay and the Office of 2nd District Representative Leo Rafael Cueva.

Garcia, who is a film and theatre director, was a former reporter in a daily newspaper.

The film is about the three individuals who reported to a police station and claimed to have seen Buding, a woman by the sea, floating on her bed.

Garcia added that their versions of the story dissect the peculiar case with different angles starting from what happened before Buding’s ‘floating’ and as they uncover the truth behind it, the three individuals’ personalities also rise to the surface.
