Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros (The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros)
2005 | Director: Auraeus Solito | Starring: Nathan Lopez, Ping Medina, JR Valentin

Maxi (Nathan Lopez) is a 12-year-old effeminate gay boy living in the slums with his father and brothers who are petty thieves. The story revolves around the conflict between Maxi’s love for handsome young police officer Victor (J. R. Valentin), and his family’s illegal livelihood. Neo-realist in orientation, the film is a tale of lost innocence and redemption amidst the poverty of Manila’s slums.

Due to the response, we are asking that people RSVP to this event on Facebook or by emailing LKCrobledomaderazo@gmail.com to reserve a spot. Alternatively, you can leave a message at (650) 641-2891 x573, but be sure to leave a number we can call you back at, in case we’ve already gone over the limit…no phone number, no valid RSVP, sorry. It’s first come, first serve. We’ll honor RSVPs only until 6:45pm, after which we’ll seat people in order of arrival if there’s space. We won’t go over capacity. So RSVP folks! And if you do, show up before 6:45 to save your spot. Thanks!!!

UPDATE! The guest list is now closed. If you really want to try to attend, you can show up. If RSVP’s aren’t there by 6:45, we’ll let others in in their place. Sorry, but we’re a small center who cannot go over capacity for any reason. Thanks for understanding.
