I’ve been a fanboy of film director Erik Matti since Ekis impressed me with its mise-en-scenes, Albert Martinez’s terrific acing, and of course that highlight that was Sunshine Cruz’s engaging dance into our memory’s very loins through a fanbreeze.

                    [Summary] => AMADEO, Cavite – Prospects are bright  for local coffee farmers, buoyed by rising demand and tight  global supply. 


"There are still sharp fluctuations in local prices which reflect price movements in the global market, but this year is projected to be  a generally positive year for local coffee farmers,"  said Nicholas Matti who owns a coffee mill plant and is also the chairman of  the National Coffee Development Board (NCDB) which is spearheading national efforts to revitalize the Philippine coffee industry.

                    [Summary] => Is there anything more civilized than a strong, steaming cup of coffee in the morning?  Filipinos have become  coffee drinkers–we’ll take our caffeine fix at the most unlikely times of the day, insomnia be damned.  We revere its taste and are calmed by its aroma.  Though we rarely admit it, the daily coffee buzz is not merely a ritual but an addiction.

                    [Summary] => 
Mention Erik Matti and you’d think of a movie camera forever in motion, camera shots crying for attention – the works. Tell him this and he’ll nod meekly, only to wince later. "When I watched Ekis (the Sunshine Cruz starrer which he directed), I began to ask myself why did I move the camera so much," he says in remorse.

                    [Summary] => 
Like most artists, director Erik Matti is a restless soul whose mind is like a windmill forever whirring with ideas, never still. He watches Hollywood movies and asks himself how he can make the ending different, novel, and therefore, powerful.


Not for him the happy-ever-after ending of those sleek, glossy US-made pictures that give audiences a rose-colored, but tainted view of the world. Erik Matti wants his messages raw, in-your-face, direct, hard-hitting. The way life as we ordinary mortals know it.
