Director's notes:


January 2010. 11 months ago. I had this crazy idea for Uela to take pole dance lessons so that we could shoot a pole dancing music video. I didn't want the pole dancing parts to look 'showbiz fake,' so she took serious lessons with the pole master himself, Mr. Ed Aniel. Geri took the classes with Uela, and 11 months later, we have Project "Prohibition." A 10 minute music video collaboration between The Chillitees and Pole Academy Philippines. Incidentally, Geri is now the manager of Ed Aniel and Pole Academy.

This project would not have been possible if not for LOVE. It sounds cheesy, but yes love made this project possible. From the cast, to the styling, production design; from the hair and make up team to the choreography; everybody gave their best support in sweat and time and good positive vibes. And coming from a jaded advertising industry, it was so refreshing to work without any egos and corruption involved. One vision. Respect. Fun. Professionalism. Aesthetics. SOLID LAHAT.

Now if only I can make a living doing this! ;)

Thank you everyone, for making this possible!

Fran Ribano - this is for you.
