The Debut is a 2000 coming-of-age comedy-drama film directed and co-written by Gene Cajayon in his directorial debut. Incorporated themes of Philippine culture, struggling with heritage identity and racism, the title of the film refers to the traditional coming-of-age ceremony accompanying a young woman's 18th birthday. A co-production of United States and Philippines, The Debut is the first film for an independent Hollywood film production (also known as Indiewood) to be written or directed by a Filipino-American and to take place or depicted within the Filipino-American community, and the first film to be produced with a Filipino film production GMA Films. The film grossed $1.745 million in limited theatrical release in the United States.
