Now, another Pinoy movie will be competing in the Asian Future section of the 26th Tokyo International Film Festival, which will be held from October 17 to 25, 2013. This is will be Mikhail Red’s “Rekorder” which stars Ronnie Quizon, Mike Lloren, Buboy Villar, Earl Ignacio, Suzette Ranillo, Belinda Mariano, Lowell Conales, Joe Gruta, Archie Adamos, and Abe Pagtama. The film tells the story of a former 1980’s film cameraman who now currently works as a movie pirate operating in present day Manila. He routinely smuggles a digital camcorder into movie theaters in order to illegally record films. One night he records something else... And the footage goes viral.
