Join ACV, Truly Indie, Landmark Theatres and ImaginAsian Entertainment for a benefit screening of CAVITE, an award-winning film that has been earning raves from critics and audiences all over! Made on a miniscule budget, this indie thriller follows Adam, an American who is visiting his home country the Philippines for his father?s funeral. After he?s arrived, he receives an anonymous call telling him that his mother and sister have been kidnapped and will be killed if he doesn't comply with his demands. Against his wishes, he finds himself caught in a terrorist plot that forces him to make a life-or-death decision. Join the directors Ian Gamazon and Neill Dela Llana in a Q&A after the screening.
