REFLECTIONS ON FILM CULTURE

Fandor Festival Podcast Ep. 34: President, Kaizen Studios, Anthony Diaz V

Hooman and Bryn sit down with multi-talent, Anthony Diaz V, “T-Boy,” joining us all the way from the Philippines, where he is in pre-production on his next film.

Anthony Diaz V discovered his love for film since childhood and enthusiastically began his journey into filmmaking through creating dozens of short films since the age of 15. His passion for filmmaking led him to enroll at the University of Las Vegas Film School, where many famous movies directors and producers have taught. He graduated with high honors with a Bachelor Degree in Film in the year 2010 at the age of 20, making him the youngest graduate in the history of the program. Anthony stars in “Way of the Cross,” which he also co-wrote and co-produced.

Way of the Cross is now available to watch on Fandor.

Set against a small religious town in the Philippines, “WAY OF THE CROSS” follows Rogelio “Rogue” Marquez (Anthony Diaz V), a Las Vegas based Filipino American FBI agent, whose estranged father living in the Philippines, is diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Rogue travels to the Philippines to visit his dying father and half sister in Manila. A string of murders occur during holy week celebrations in the nearby town of San Antonio that send waves of terror among the local town people, and stuns the NBI and its top agent. Rogue’s curiosity and FBI instincts lure him into a dark cat and mouse world of religious abstracts as he attempts to uncover the motivation behind these murders in hopes to solve the mystery.

If you enjoyed “Way of the Cross,” join us for Anthony’s other film, Break! Coming to Fandor.com this Friday, 1/28/2022.
