ASOG
"A remarkable victory of society’s poorest over entrenched corporate interests."
- TIME Magazine
"Defies all labels, irreverently mixing genres and tones to create something proudly original."
- The New York Times
"Drop-dead gorgeous... ASOG isn’t just a movie;
it’s a luminous testament to the human spirit to move on after disaster."
- Film Threat
"The Biggest Movie That The Philippines Has Never Seen... Asog has turned into a cinematic phantom: whispered about in film circles, praised by foreign audiences, but eerily absent from our own screens."
- Rolling Stone Magazine (Philippines)
​
"ASOG has sparked a movement that led to Ayala Land Inc paying $7 million CAD in reparations to 784 families who refuse to abandon their ancestral land."
- The Inquirer​

"When I first saw ASOG I was floored by the world the film took me into, the depth of the artistry, and the feelings I experienced for characters on the other side of the planet. This is a special movie and Seán is a uniquely original filmmaker."
Adam McKay
Executive Producer
"All the characters in ASOG are real people who play themselves, but Devlin (who wrote the film with Jaya and Pablo) crafts a fable-like film, with animated interludes, slapstick comedy, flamboyant agitprop and many other flourishes that allow the subjects to tell their stories on their own terms — with humor, rage and imagination. Its real victory came after it premiered at festivals: The acclaim that it garnered led to the real-estate company compensating 784 displaced families on Sicogon Island with $5.1 million in reparations."
The New York Times
"ASOG is the film we need right now. It is full of such passion and urgency and humour and love that it gurgles out of the screen and into your soul. I want every single person I know and many, many I don’t to see this thing of scarred beauty and queer, savage joy."
