Curiozități

Asog is a 2023 docufiction film produced and directed by Seán Devlin and written by Rey Aclao, Devlin, and Arnel Pablo. An international co-production between the Philippines and Canada, the film's cast consists entirely of Typhoon Haiyan survivors, none of whom were trained actors. The film is executive produced by Adam McKay, Alan Cumming and Joel Kim Booster.

Production

The film was made with a guerrilla crew of 5 people on a micro budget of US$255,000. There are no trained actors in the film. To make the process simpler for the cast they were all invited to perform in whichever Filipino dialect they felt most comfortable speaking in. Devlin is a Filino-Canadian who was born and raised in Canada but doesn't speak any Filipino dialects.
