I FUETSAN I TAO TAO is a dramatic feature film scheduled to be filmed on Guam in 2008. The film centers around a wayward and reckless Chamorro teenager living a self-destructive lifestyle in the city of Long Beach, California. Seduced by the gang culture all around him, he drops out of high school, engages in emotionless relationships with interchangeable girlfriends, and lives a life devoid of meaning. His mother sends him to Guam to reconnect with family, discover his roots, and regain his true essence. But while first on Guam, he falls more deeply into depression, and gets into conflict with the local MMA fighters.
The turning point comes with a newfound connection with the Chamorro culture, through the guidance of his Uncle Joe, the Maga'lahi of Umatac Village, and via the new local MMA fight scene. With a new strength, he is able to emerge from the nadir of despair and rise to the renaissance of his most profound identifications.
Script nearly complete. Currently working on the second draft.I FUETSAN I TAO TAO is to be directed by veteran renegade LA Director Alex Muñoz, with music by outstanding artists from Guam and the West Coast.
