Now that my Toronto Film Festival work is largely done with I’m sitting down to the ugly task of sorting through the pile of ignored email that built up over the past couple weeks. At the top of the pile is one from Filipino film maker Chuck Gutierrez, steering me to his latest short film The Most Beautiful Woman in the World. Now, Chuck had some behind the scenes involvement with the excellent Sigaw and it’s pretty obvious that he share’s Yam Laranas’ (the director of Sigaw) skill behind the camera because this thing is just gorgeous.
