I was amazed with the artwork in this poster the first time I saw it.

I’m digging the vintage feel of it all. This was designed by artist JP Cuison for MangoRed.   MangoRyan wanted us to share this with all the abroad-based W@Wies who may be interested in having a prenup or postnup shoot with them.

There are only 20 slots available.  Checkout the poster and see if they are visiting a city near you.  Email mangoredstudios@gmail.com for inquires or to reserve a slot.

It’s the second time that we are holding the W@W VideoFest.  The first was back in 2009 as we celebrated W@W’s 10th anniversary.  This year, the event spotlights the decade-long career of arguably the country’s most prolific wedding supplier.

W@W VideoFest presents BIO: Jason Magbanua.

But instead of seeing the works of JMag, what will be shown are docus about the videographer’s life and career.  The participating videographers in this event were personally handpicked by Jason himself.   Chosen were those whose career has been influenced and/or helped by Jason himself while they were still starting in the videography business: Ian Cruz, John Marvi de Guzman of CinemaWorks, Bob Nicolas, Threelogy, and Mayad Studios.

Below are aswers to some FAQs about the event:

Q. Is the event for free?

A. Yes this event is by invitation and guests come in for free.  As of this writing, the 7:30 screening on March 15 is already at SRO capacity.  We have just decided to opened another screening at 9PM.  For those still interested to get invites, kindly email wawvideofest@gmail.com with the name of attendees.

Q. Should I dress up for the event?

A. You surely can but it is not required.  While other guests are coming from work in their office getup, some wedding suppliers are likely to dress-up for the event much like attending a red-carpet premier. Either way is okay really.  But of course, a snapshot in our paparazzi wall at Cinema 4’s lobby will be nice when you’re dressed up. Oh, and Baicapture will setup a photobooth there as your souvenir to all the guests.

Q. Will we see the best works of Jason Magbanua in the event?

A. Sorry, but no.  What will be shown are works of other videographers (listed above) about the life and career of Jason Magbanua.

Q. Should we bring the invites we received in the mail to enter the cinema?

A. No need.  Just give your name when you approach registration table at the lobby of Cinema 4.  The staff of EventsExperts, who’s managing the event for us will be on hand to assist you. (By the way, the lovely invites were especially made for us by Printsonalities.  Thank you very much!

Q. Who did the movie posters?

MangoRed did the shoot and layout for the posters. Aside from the one of JMag as seen a above, he made five more layouts each featuring the five videographers whose work will be shown during the event.  You may see them all here. Don’t forget to checkout these posters in the backlit display along the Rockwell’s Cinama 4 lobby.

Q. Do we get a free popcorn or something?

A. Munchies are available at the cinema lobby.  Feel free to order. KKB.

We know it’s just November 26. For those who may thinks it’s too early to hold one in November, then a little explanation may be in order.  December is the month where a lot of W@Wies get married.  It’s also the busiest time of the year for wedding suppliers as well.  Why, it’s the PEAK season for weddings in the Philippines!

We are expecting around 300 guests.  200 will be seated and 100 will party cocktail-style. And before everything gets caught in the frenzy during-and-after party, we already want to thank everybody for making tonight’s event possible.

Top of mind, we thank Jets & Rhona Battung (Jets & Rhona: Canaan Celebrations)  — W@Wie couple turned wedding planners  — who’s handling the event.  Props to them for not balking on us when we asked them if they’d be interested to help us with this event.  As Benz said in her profile stat, Jets & Rhona made everything easier for her.

We would also like to acknowledge The Pergola for hosting the venue of our Christmas Party this year.  This new venue for special events within the CCP Complex just opened mid this year and we are happy that they took us in upon learning about our party. (For those going to the party, here’s a map to the venue.)

We will always grateful to the Verzosa Family and the entire team of Josiah’s Catering for being, practically, a main fixture in each and every W@W event each and every year.  Same goes to Ronald of 4th Wall for being our go-to-guy for the stage setup and everything else in between. Life saver talaga!

Light & sounds for the party will be provided by Sensitivity. Francis Day will be the program host.

The names above are just a handful.  We have listed in this page all the companies who have stood as sponsors and prizes donors in tonight’s event. The said list is a constant work in progress as prizes keep coming in the past few days.  We made another list of all the wedding suppliers who have pledged their goods and/or services to the W@Wies thru the annual W@W Christmas Auction.

Maraming salamat sa patuloy na suporta sa W@W at sa mga W@Wies! 

PARTY NA!
