DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – A 22-year-old overseas Filipino, who used to spend weekends in Quiapo selling fish with his grandmother, now has bragging rights to being the youngest indie filmmaker here with 300 stories having millions of views under his belt. And he’s just getting started. Vincent Escobido , popularly known as Vincent Augus, a household name in the Pinoy film community, has his eyes trained on Hollywood.
Shooed awayThe journey from Navotas to Quiapo took three jeepney rides – and a lot of shooing away by drivers, who did not want to take the grandma-and-grandson team’s six buckets of fresh fish, lest their jeeps catch the uncomfortable smell, giving would-be passengers, freshly bathed for work or school, second thoughts and take the next one, instead. “Madalas, ayaw kaming pasakayin. Tiyempuhan lang ‘pag mabait po yung driver,” Escobido said. Some days, they’d sell good, Escobido said.
