“One of the finest Filipino films of recent years” - The Hollywood TimesFROM EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS:
Academy Award winning filmmaker Adam McKay (The Big Short & HBO's Succession), Emmy-winner Alan Cumming (Eyes Wide Shut) and Emmy nominee Joel Kim Booster (Fire Island).
ABOUT THE FILM
ASOG is a screwball tragicomedy starring a cast of real life Super Typhoon survivors. The film follows Jaya on a road trip to a drag pageant and along the way they encounter Filipinos enduring the impacts of climate change. Flipping the conventions of the road movie on its head, Asog is a stunning and profound ode to the power of solidarity amidst struggle. ASOG is the second feature from Filipino-Canadian Filmmaker and Juno-nominated comedian Seán Devlin, who was a Consulting Producer on the Oscar- nominated Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm.
ASOG is a prefigurative production that continues to improve the economic quality of life for the storm survivors that star in the film. Produced through crowdfunding and with the generous support of The Doc Society UK, The Canada Council for the Arts, Telefilm Canada, Creative BC and Lou Meninski Productions.
