In order to make her dreams come true, she turns from prostitution toward the more lucrative business of Internet porn. Her success as a porn star brings new friends, including Valerie, a
ladyboy in Iceland, and Michael, the owner of the website Raquela works for. Valerie helps Raquela get as far as Iceland. From there, Michael offers her a rendezvous in Paris. Will Paris be everything she dreamed of? And will Michael turn out to be her Prince Charming?

The Thank You Girls Premieres in Davao TODAY!

September 8th, 2008

In case you haven’t noticed yet,  I have been posting a lot about “The Thank You Girls!” lately, and this is all because I love it so much that I can define darkness now (after watching the premiere night two weeks ago). No, I am not paid to blog about the film, nor am I getting anything in return for posting about it.  I just love the film so much that I would want everyone in the world to watch it.  Besides,  this film was shot in Davao, my hometown, and the cast and director are my kababayans! 

The Thank You Girls!  will have its premiere night in Davao City tonight, September 8, 2008 at Gaisano Mall of Davao.  Tickets are pegged at P100.00 only!  So to all our friends in Davao, go na and maki-”Char Lang!”

Regular screening of The Thank You Girls! in Davao will be from September 10 (my birthday!) to September 16 at Gaisano Mall of Davao.  

Friends from Metro Manila will have the chance to catch this film beginning September 23 (Advance Screening) at Robinsons Galleria IndieSine.  Regular run in Metro Manila will be on September 24 to September 30.

Oh and yeah, did I mention that The Thank You Girls! will be screened at the Vancouver International Film Festival on September 25 to October 10? Details about the Dragons and Tigers Competition for emerging Asian directors are on Bebs Gohetia’s blog.

Now who says gay indie films are all tragic and full of nudity?
