Joel Lamangan enjoys directing Magic Palayok

DIRECTOR JOEL LAMANGAN said he took “Magic Palayok” as a challenge. “Akala ko, di ko kaya gumawa ng ganitong fantasy na may mga sumasayaw na talong at iba pang gulay bago ilagay sa palayok, pero kaya ko pala,” he says. “Mas magaan ito idirek kaysa sa serious films na sunod-sunod kong ginagawa from ‘Dukot’, ‘Sagrada Familia’, ‘Sigwa’, at susunod ang ‘Deadline’ at ‘Patikul’.”

For his next film, he wants to do a story on Pinay drug mules who are arrested and jailed abroad. “I’ll offer it to Nora Aunor kasi kilala niya ang material,” he says. “Also to Lovi Poe, Alma Concepcion, Anjanette Abayari and Cong. Ronald Singson na may mga karanasan din sa ganito. It’ll be a warning to our OFW’s na wag basta-basta magtitiwala pag may pinakikidala sa kanila at baka drugs palang laman nito.”
