Production has begun on “Salvageland,” a neo-Western from the Philippines’ Rein Entertainment that sees veteran actor Richard Gomez return to theatrical features after an extended hiatus.

The project represents a homecoming for director Lino S. Cayetano, who steps back into feature filmmaking after spending 15 years focused on television directing and producing duties at Rein Entertainment, the company he co-founded.

The scenario forces the family duo into a violent confrontation that will challenge their relationship and survival skills.
