Lance Ivan Cordero

Si Ivan ay isang manunulat at direktor.Siya'y nagnanais na ipagsilang muli ang mga pelikulang galing sa atin. Yong tipong maipagmamalaki't ipagmamayabang na ibinahagi mo ang istoryang puno ng karanasan at nag-uumapaw na puso.Nais niyang maglayag at galugarin ang mga imahinasyong nagsisiliparan at naghahanap ng pag-asang marinig. Hindi siya titigil sa paghahanap ng mga imposibleng kaganapan na hindi batid sa madla.Nais niyang paudlakan ang mga ngiting lumiliwanag habang namumutawi ang mga salita sa kanilang mga bibig. Maging ang dalisay nilang mga mata na naghahanap ng pag-aaruga at katarungan.Nais niyang siya ang maunang makinig sa nananabik nilang mga puso. Nang sa gayo'y alam nilang may isang taong walang sawang nais makinig at sabik makipagsabayan sa kung saan man dalhin ng kanilang imahinasyon at matapat na saloobin.
