Oggs Cruz
Francis Joseph "Oggs" Cruz is a Filipino lawyer and film critic best known for his reviews of Philippine New Wave films in prominent publications including the Philippine Star, the Philippines [Free Press] and Rappler.
Cruz's reviews have led him to be invited to join the selection committees of several major Philippine festivals, including the Cinema One [Originals Film Festival], the Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino and the Cinemalaya Philippine [Independent Film Festival].
Cruz was a member of the selection committee of the Cinemalaya Philippine [Independent Film Festival], but resigned in 2012 in protest over the exclusion of one of the films nominated under the New breed category that year.
