Who wants to watch Senior Year?

A year ago, I raved about the indie film Senior Year and how it touched my heart and made me look back on my high school days and see how much I've grown since. Produced by The Digitank Studios, Inc., the film is a glimpse into the lives of ten high school students as they struggle through the final months before their  graduation. It is a story about high school life, chasing dreams, and coming of age. It endeavors to depict high school as essentially when ambition and dreams come into fruition. It is when childish ways are thrown out in exchange of seeds of maturity, the beginning of adulthood and the start of a bumpy ride towards the "real world". The film also tackles the bittersweet travails of interesting teen personalities, inevitable complexities involving teachers and students and how their senior year turned around as they head through life's unknown destination. It's a really good movie and I recommend that you watch it. It also earned a lot of positive reviews from critics and was even endorsed by the Department of Education. Read my review [and see 16 year old me] here. I was even contacted by Miss Nissa of Digitank because she read my review.

I honestly think everyone can relate to the story and the characters. Here is what the Cinema Evaluation Board of the Film Development Council of the Philippines have to say after they graded the movie an A:

There are the usual nerds and wannabes, the usual bullies and their victims and the latter’s defenders. They are not portrayed as obligatory stereotypes though and this is what makes the seniors in the film interesting and endearing. Their back/home stories also vividly show the milieu the seniors are forced to sink or  swim in. There are the heartbreaks from teen-age break-ups, college rejections and intrams defeats and there are also successful physical and emotional makeovers. There are teachers who inspire and challenge and there are classmates who support and encourage but sometimes infuriate and meddle. The kids may not be as attractive or as airbrushed as the Glee cheerleaders; they are just the pimply, gangly and giddy teen-agers in the real world.

Here comes the fun part. I am giving two readers and their plus one a chance to see the movie at Yabang Pinoy's screening of Senior Year to be held this coming Saturday, June 23, at the Cinema 4 of SM Mall of Asia! Yabang Pinoy is a pioneering Filipino pride movement known for fun, creative, and contemporary Filipino pride projects and events, and I am honored to be one of their partner bloggers. I would really love to go to the screening as well but I have already committed to go to another function. I'm thankful that they allowed me to do this giveaway instead so I can help spread the word about this great Pinoy film and Yabang Pinoy's advocacy. 

This giveaway is open to my blog and Twitter followers. To join, all you have to do is like Yabang Pinoy's Facebook page, and then post a comment below with your name, your email address, and your fondest high school memory. After leaving a comment, tweet this:

And that's it! The two winners will be announced this Friday, whereby they'd have to give me the name of their plus one so I can forward them to the organizers. Thank you and good luck! ♥
