Here’s another interesting gay-oriented film that will surely catch the hearts and souls (souls talaga?) of everyone!

The Thank You Girls is the first film of Charlibebs Gohetia (writer of the much-talked about gay film, Daybreak). The movie is set (and was filmed) in my hometown, Davao City so this one is even closer to my heart! It’s a Visayan film with a gay lingo twist starring non-professional actors from Davao.

I have been following the filming of this movie through the director’s blog and boy was I so excited when Adolf Alix Jr, sent us an email telling us that the film has already been finished and that the trailer is already out!

Synopsis:

Tired of losing in all the beauty competitions in Davao City, five dysfunctional gay beauty pageant veterans decide to travel north to Cagayan de Oro City, in the island of Mindanao, with a mission to conquer the grandest competition of beauty, personality and brains in the province.

They believe that being city dwellers, gays in the province will never stand a chance against them.

The movie’s release is yet to be determined but we will definitely give you an update on it!

Here’s the trailer:
