This was such a revealing and informative movie for me, to see what really happens behind those neat and glamorous programs we see on night after night on our TV screens. We never would have imagined that there is much chaos and exploitation before those final edits were reached. We have never seen these things behind the scenes depicted so honestly on screen. This could as well have been a documentary to further the cause of fair treatment of bit players. It is a position statement as much as it was entertainment.
Like “Babae sa Septic Tank” (an insider look into indie film making) last year, “Ekstra” is a definite must-see for all film fans to understand more in depth on how their beloved celluloid industry works. This is excellent work by Director Jeffrey Jeturian. An indie 9/10.
