This past Sunday was a huge celebration in the entertainment industry as the Grammy’s recognized artists from around the world.  For Director Patricio Ginelsa, this past Sunday’s celebration also marks his directorial television debut to a nationwide audience of millions!

“Love (Cupid Style)” PREMIERE PARTY, 10:57pm, 2/8/09 from Kid Heroes on Vimeo.

Check out the music video for the song “Love” by Greyboy Featuring Nino Moschella, which Patricio directed for a Lincoln Automobiles commercial.  The storyline concept brings a “Men In Black” approach to the fairytale idea of Cupid.  I can see this as a blockbuster film in the making…i’m jus sayin!  Another great element to this project is that Bambu plays the lead role of Cupid!!

ps. It definitely feels like Cupid has touched down in the Bay, spread love ya’ll!

I’m sure Bambu never thought he would end up getting screen time during the Grammy’s…

Patricio Ginelsa (Kid Heroes Productions) is the WINNING Director for a music video entry “Love (Cupid Style)”.  The video will premiere THIS SUNDAY NIGHT as a 30 second commercial during the CBS broadcast of the GRAMMY AWARDS. I don’t know exactly WHEN the commercial will air but the telecast begins 8pm Eastern and Pacific Time this Sunday, February 8.

The commercial will then prompt viewers to visit a CBS website to watch
the ONLINE PREMIERE of the FULL COMPLETE 5 MINUTE VERSION
of the MUSIC VIDEO.

The video is one of FIVE winners, all part of a huge national ad campaign
called “PROJECT RISING STARS”. Lincoln, Y&R Team Detroit, and
Filmaka, a global creative community, are helping up-and-coming
filmmakers realize their dreams with this Lincoln Music Video Challenge.
More than 300 submissions were received, with 14 Semi-Finalists. Each
video will include a song from an emerging artist, and will highlight the
2009 Lincoln MKS luxury sedan.

The video features the song “LOVE” by Greyboy (featuring Nino Moschella).
I have to admit it was the most grueling shoot I’ve ever completed, but
also the most exhilarating. Did I mention it also features rap artist Bambu
as a lead Cupid angel?

Once upon a time, when I was 16, I ended up having a small role in a movie my cousin made during the summer of 1996 ( I guess you can say this is where my career in entertainment really started!).  After 7 years the movie Lumpia, was released independently (2003), and toured the United States over the course of several months.  Through college and community organizations, and the passion and vision of Director/Producer Patricio Ginelsa, Lumpia has become a cult classic in Filipino homes across the globe.

To continue feeding Lumpia goodness to those hungry for a story about the struggles of identity that is faced when being Filipino can feel so uncool adjusting to an American lifestyle, Kid Heroes Productions has released a new design, and kid’s sizes, to their merchandise mix of Lumpia movie products.

Lumpia is an entertaining film with a story line that is still relevant today.  Action, comedy, romance, and a lesson in identity, all take place in the mid 90′s when house parties, Starter jackets, and wet & wild lipstick (#508) was the biznazz!  Buy the movie, fry some lumpia (yum!), and enjoy the movie with your folks!
