Ilarde dropped out of college, under the impression that landing a filmmaking position would be easy (big mistake, as he would later admit). He had a pantheon of favorite fight sequences and shootouts and would view them over and over again, taking them apart in his head and examining them till he felt he knew how they worked -all this before he ever even used a video or film camera.

He would view his favourite films, paying attention to fight scenes and shootouts: Sam Peckinpah’s The Getaway (1972) Robert Clouse’s Enter the Dragon (1973) Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver (1976) Walter Hill’s The Warriors (1979) and George Miller’s Mad Max (1979) (if you look at the range of pictures, his formative years took place in the ’70s, when America had a particularly vibrant action filmmaking scene). His real education in filmmaking, however, began with the video collection of Bobby Ledesma (a work associate of his father), arguably the largest Betamax collection in the country at the time.

Rico Maria Ilarde (son of Philippine TV and radio personality Eddie Ilarde) was born and bred in Metro Manila early education in De La Salle, in Greenhills majored in Film at the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, California spent the summer at the USC / Universal Studios film program. One is tempted to ask, is Ilarde a true Filipino independent filmmaker -meaning, I suppose, do his films embody the spirit of Filipino independent filmmaking? Are his films Filipino in the first place? Art, perhaps? What is an independent film, a Filipino film, an art film, and how do we distinguish from the various categories involved? He has worked as an independent filmmaker in one sense -he has directed at least three features (his first, and his two latest) without the resources of a mainstream Filipino film studio behind him. He is not your classic idea of the “indie” or “art-house” filmmaker -when critics or journalists write about him, he’s usually characterized as a “horror / fantasy” director, with elements borrowed from the martial arts / action genre. Thank you so much for reading this, sorry if it's turned out a bit long-winded.Rico Ilarde is that strange, strange creature, the filmmaker that flits in and out of both independent and mainstream studio system with apparent ease. I will intend to provide extras for those able to support the channel through Patreon, such as personal access to music, a copy of the video script, and I intend to host polls here for supporters to decide which video will be uploaded onto the channel next.

I just want to say thank you to everyone, whether you've decided to become a Patreon supporter or whether you're unsure, as long as we can all discuss and learn from films, I just wish us all a great time watching as many as possible. I've always been interested in films and writing - this channel has allowed me to bring both together. I'm forever grateful that my YouTube channel has allowed me to use my different skills to provide a form of educational video content. I would like to also introduce new video topics and make longer videos. If you decide to support the channel through this Patreon page, it would go towards providing more time spent on each video, broadening the range of films that will be discussed on the channel with a higher quality of research and writing for each video.

The reason I'm making this Patreon page is because managing the YouTube account takes up the majority of my time - researching, writing, editing, recording audio and even producing new music for each video. I want to be able to continue producing these video essays to a high standard while also having a platform where I can offer something in return to the viewers. My intention has always been to try and provide clear, concise video essays examining a wide range of films, providing interpretations, explanations or reviews. I love a variety of films and, with my YouTube channel YouHaveBeenWatchingFilms, I try to discuss them in a way that can help spread love and appreciation. Whether it's writing short films and spec screenplays, or writing detailed video reviews, most of my thoughts focus on film discussion. Hi! My name is Olivia Bagshaw, I'm a trans writer and the majority of my time is spent thinking and writing about films.
