BANYAN is a modern-day, multicultural variation on THE WIZARD OF OZ that incorporates Pilipino fantasy, folklore, and humor. A woman, during her ‘dream vacation’ to the Philippines, embarks on an allegorical adventure sprinkled with aswang (witch) tales, hostages, romance, intrigue, and ‘symbolic’ terrorism. Her journey through the jungles of the Philippines mirrors her dilemma over her role in a corrupt corporation’s nefarious secrets in a paper shredding room.
