Dante Basco, director of THE FABULOUS FILIPINO BROTHERS
Over his extensive career in entertainment, Dante Basco has always kept his identity and culture close to his heart. His latest film - a fun close-to-real-life collaboration with several of his family members - reflects his undying hunger to continue to tell his truth through storytelling. Meanwhile, his interviewer Lee Ngo is trying very hard not to reveal how much of a fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender he is, especially the incomparable character arc of Prince Zuko of The Fire Nation.
