Baler, awarded Best Film of the 2008 Metro
Manila Film Festival (MMFF), is not director Mark Meily’s finest

garnered so much acclaim with just three films under his belt. And
he promises so much more.
While others start with low-budget independent
films espousing raw, do-it-yourself guerrilla aesthetics, Meily
began his career with the mighty bang of well-choreographed
artillery barrage—box- office hits that starred the biggest
celebrities and had the highest production values in cinematography,
lighting, sound and video editing.
