After posing for the cover of FHM magazine, Jackie Rice goes more daring in Kamkam, directed by Joel Lamangan from a screenplay by Jerry Gracio for Heaven’s Best Entertainment, which was graded “A” by the Cinema Evaluation Board (CEB).
In the movie set for premiere in International A-List Film Festival, Jackie plays the manipulative and scheming third wife of a kingpin (played by Allen Dizon) from whose point of view the story is told. The title says it all: Kamkam is Filipino for greed (as in, to quote a former government official, “Moderate your greed”) and how it corrupts those in power.
Jackie has two torrid love scenes: One with the kingpin and the other with her former boyfriend (played by Kerbie Zamora).
How did Jackie prepare for her sexy scenes?
“The first thing I did was not to be myself but to be in character so I had to study the character and really become the character,” said Jackie who, like her zodiac sign (Taurus, born April 27, 1990), can be daring if the situation calls for it. “Second, I trusted my director who is really good in what he does. Third, I trusted the scene and gave all my heart and passion. I needed to commit wholeheartedly.”
During the shoot, Jackie recalled having mixed emotions, while at the same time feeling excited because the role is the hardest and the most challenging in the eight years she has been in the business after she was discovered through the GMA talent search StarStruck.
“I was worried about what people, especially my loved ones, might think of me after watching my scenes,” explained Jackie. “At the same time, I felt proud that I did something not all actors can portray because they have too many limitations. I really can’t explain how I felt during the shoot, but I think I was too anxious. Hahahaha!!!”
“It’s something we don’t talk about at home,” said Jackie.
Is she ready to go bolder and more daring?
“I am ready to do more mature roles that make sense and will give me depth as an actor,” assured Jackie.
