Manila Based Thriller BEAST Premieres At TIFF 2015
BEAST follows Jaime (Chad McKinney), a young half-Filipino boxer, and his father Rick (Garret Dillahunt), an American expat, over one life-changing night in Manila. Rick pressures Jaime to cheat in a boxing match by tampering with his gloves. The result: his opponent Pedro, a local Manila fighter, dies from his injuries. When Pedro’s girlfriend, Divina (Angeli Bayani), uncovers their crime and the police get involved, Jaime is forced to make a decision – stick by the father he loves so much and cover up the crime, or risk everything to save Divina and her young son.
