Action packed movies with strong female leads are the most trending movies in the film industry today, the likes of BUYBUST of Anne Curtis and WE WILL NOT DIE TONIGHT starring Erich Gonzales.
So often, the gender inequality in film is understated that it goes fairly unnoticed. But it's an undeniable truth that movies which feature a strong led independent female character (which is not just as a foil of romance or love interest for the male lead) aren't exactly in abundance. So when we do get to watch movies like WE WILL NOT DIE TONIGHT, we will surely cherish, and I'm sure you're going to watch it over and over again, and tend not to forget the inedible characters which no doubt have shaped our own decisions as women.
Directed by Richard Somes, the movie is Erich Gonzales' first foray into the action genre, she also one of the film's co-producers.
The action film "WE WILL NOT DIE TONIGHT" starred by Dabawenya actress Erich Gonzales will have two special screenings at the 16th Mindanao Film Festival (MFF) in Davao City at Gaisano Mall of Davao Cinema 6. The film screenings are organized by the MFF together with the JCI Davaoeña Daba-Daba, this will be on December 8, 7:30pm will be graced by the presence of film director Richard Somes and actor Paolo Paraiso who plays the film's main antagonist and December 9, 4:30pm.
Part of the proceeds from the screenings will be for JCI Davaoeña's Share A Joy Year 7 beneficiaries.
WOMEN IN ACTION
Empowering the women ---these girls aren't perfect by any standards, but the reason we look up to them as our role models is not giving up in any challenges they got into which is more often the case, rely on a man to solve their problems. They choose to pull from their inner strength and in end they come out on top of everything because they did things their way.
Among the group's projects include; BOOK YOUR FUTURE-a book drive for rural schools, GOOD HAIR DAYS/GROUND ZERO Year 2 which an entrepreneurial drive to minimize the use of single-use plastics and OPLAN KAAGAPAY a donation drive for victims of recent big fires in Davao City.
Rudolph Alama, festival director of the Mindanao Film Festival says women have played a key role in the development of regional film movement in Mindanao.
This year's 16th Mindanao Film Festival is the largest ever in the history of the MFF with 107 films from across Mindanao and some overseas selections. These films will be screened during the week-long festival slated December 5-11 at Gaisano Mall Cinema 6.

"The movie where we have an empowered female action heroine, resonates with JCI Davaoeña Daba-Daba who are also women in action, working into reality numerous projects and advocacies for the community," says Barbie Blanco JCI Davaoeña Daba-Daba president.

"We have lots of women filmmakers here in the region and they also are women-in-action, it takes a lot of guts and hard work in making films, in fact our opening film KAUYAGAN is made by a lady filmmaker from Cagayan de Oro, Julienne Ilagan," Alama said.
