Filmmaker Randolph Longjas will travel near and far, to screen his movie “Star na si Van Damme Stallone” whenever and wherever there’s an audience that’s willing to watch.
He feels strongly about the film’s mission, which is to open viewers’ hearts and minds about people with Down syndrome. The award-winning Cine Filipino film follows Van Damme Stallone, a kid with Down syndrome, who dreams of being an actor.
“I will never get tired of talking about the film,” he told the Inquirer. “If we need to go to every school and community, we will do it. Last year, we had a free screening in a prison!”

He himself was “changed” by the movie, he recounted. “I didn’t know much prior to making this film. It was a 180-degree turn for me. Before, the only information I had was based on my biology classes on genetics.”
“I never realized how sensitive and loving they were,” he looked back. “During our shooting we had a strict rule: No bad vibes on the set. It was because Paolo and Jadford could easily get affected by negativity.”
