The Debut (2000)
Filipino-American Film Hits Home!!!

As a Filipino-American, I am definitely proud to finally see an American film that celebrates the Filipino-American experience. As a film lover, I definitely congratulate Cajayon on a great job for his directorial "debut." The film hit a personal level, but overall I enjoyed the cinematography and the beautiful performances.
Themes of family, friends, and identity are not just for the Filipino audience. The soundtrack is superb as well. For an independent film, audiences and feedback have been phenomenal as Cajayon and his "Debut" team make grassroot promotions and city-to-city theater runs. This is a message to Hollywood that there are audiences and support for Filipino-American film!!!
