Asog (film)

Asog is a Canadian-Philippine docufiction film, directed by comedian Seán Devlin. The tragicomic movie features a cast made up entirely of Super Typhoon Haiyan survivors, none of whom were trained actors. Incorporating both fictionalized and documentary elements, the film stars Filipino transgender comedian Rey "Jaya" Aclao, who is taking former student Arnel Pablo on a road trip to a drag competition; along the way, they meet various people whose lives have been impacted by Haiyan. The film is executive produced by Adam McKay, Alan Cumming and Joel Kim Booster.
