Hollywood producer Charles Wessler was captivated by the beauty of the Philippines as he scouted for the perfect location for an upcoming movie.
Directors, producers, and celebrities listened intently as Charles discussed his journey to becoming a successful producer. He relished sharing stories about Tinseltown celebrities.
Charles last produced a movie,"Palmer," in 2021, starring Justin Timberlake. However, he rose to fame producing the film series"Dumb and Dumber" and"There's Something About Mary." In 2018,"The Green Book" won the Oscar for Best Picture. "So I told him if you're looking for funding here, it has to do something about the Philippines. Then he said I have a script called The Jungle that could easily be set in the Philippines. So they reworked that script. He said that he wanted to talk to investors and get this movie made. So he's here now, hoping the movie will be shot early next year," said Manet."He's meeting possible investors for the movie, and he's hoping to scout for locations.
"I have to be honest. The truth is I have yet to see that many Philippine-made films. But to answer your question, a great movie probably missed it in the last 10 years, and nobody promoted it properly,""So the real thing is even if you don't get amazing distribution, somebody like a billionaire has to pay for it to be seen. Some people specialize in bringing members of the academy who vote like me to see movies.
"And we know it became easy to come home. Make dinner, watch a movie, watch a TV show or binge. You sit there and watch a TV series for three or four hours because you have nothing else to do.
