directors Mark Shandii Bacolod
(Ben & Sam
), Sean Lim (Pendong), Ray Gibraltar (Brod), and Aleksi Gumela (Linabo). He has also written and directed a short film called Detektib, which technically serves as his first directorial stint. Del Mundo's first full length film as a director is Taksikab, a gripping indie
drama about the denizens of the roads of Manila. Taksikab was deemed too graphic in its depiction of sexual violence and poverty by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board, prompting them to give it an X-rating on its first review. Shown censorship-free, Taksikab was well-received during its world premiere at the University of The Philippines Film Center in May 2011. The Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival
has selected Taksikab as part of its annual Midnight Special screenings on July 21, 2011.
