SYNOPSIS

An angel appears to Jonas in his sleep announcing glad tidings… “the sea will birth a miracle”… “a multiplication of fish here and now.” But the miracle is shrouded in mystery and Jonas needs to unlock the secret of the ancient code ICHTHUS. He finds himself searching for clues in his childhood haunt, a humble fishing village along Lingayen Gulf, in the northern Philippine province of Pangasinan. In a journey that is as much inward as it is outward, Jonas inadvertently casts his net into the hidden regions of a parable.

FILMMAKER BIO

Antonio D. Sison or “Ton” won 2nd place honors at the 1999 National Screenwriting Competition sponsored by the Film Foundation of the Philippines. His winning screenplay “9 Mornings” was released as a feature film by major Philippine producer Star Cinema.

His two other short films are “Mariken’s Divine Stampot,” which was screened online at the official website of the Catholic Church of the Netherlands, and “the Passion of Chris,” a satirical take on catholic guilt. All of his films were shot with a consumer camcorder and edited on the Apple freeware iMovie. He good-naturedly refers to his work as filmmaking on a sub-zero budget. Total production cost for ICHTHUS was $75.
