Allen, baguhan pa rin ang pakiramdam!

Muling gumawa ng mapangahas na eksena si Allen Dizon sa pelikulang An Affair to Forget.

Kasamang bida ng aktor sa naturang Vivamax film sina Sunshine Cruz at Angelica Cervantes.

Maituturing umano ng aktor na ito ang kanyang pagbabalik sa Viva. “I used to be a Viva artist at naging Viva Hotmen no’ng 2004. I was 26 years old no’ng time na ‘yon. I’m 45 years old now and patuloy pa rin a paggawa ng pelikula,” bungad ni Allen

Hindi raw basta-basta lamang tumatanggap ng proyekto ang aktor ngayon. “’Pag tumatanggap ako ng project ang una ko kinu-consider ay ‘yung story and script saka kung sino ang director. Honest­ly, nagandahan ako sa script at kwento. Tapos si direk Louie (Ignacio) pa ‘yung director. So sino ba naman ako para tumanggi. Malaki ang tiwala ko na mai-execute niya nang maayos ang mga sensitibong eksena namin,” paliwanag niya.

Kahit magtatatlong dekada na sa show business ay baguhan pa rin daw ang pakiramdam ni Allen sa bawat proyekto na kanyang ginagawa. “Ngayon pa nga lang nagsi-sink in na gano’n na ako katagal sa showbiz, na 25 years na pala ako. Pero ang pakiramdam ko lagi pa rin akong nag-i-start pagdating sa mga pelikula, sa mga teleserye. Kapag first day may kaba pa rin. Kailangan ready ka sa role mo, sa character mo. So same thing naman, wala namang pinagkaiba sa mga ginagawa ko before, sa mga ginagawa ko ngayon,” pagbabahagi ng aktor.

Mikhail, ‘di makapaniwala sa natanggap na awards

Labis ang kaligayahang nararamdaman ni Mikhail Red dahil humakot ng awards ang pelikulang Deleter na pinagbibidahan ni Nadine Lustre sa Metro Manila Film Festival Gabi Ng Parangal kamakailan. Kabilang na rito ang Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Cinematography at Best Director. “We’re still processing it. Very surprised especially for our rated-horror movie to do so well this Christmas season. Just getting into MMFF is already a big shock for us. We did not intend to have this film for MMFF. We’re just really honored to have won all the major prizes at the MMFF awards night. We are just very honored and grateful. We can’t wait to continue sharing this film with Filipinos and eventually even an international audience,” nakangiting paglalahad ni Direk Mikhail.

Malaki umano ang pasasalamat ng direktor kay Nadine dahil sa pagiging magaling ng aktres sa naturang MMFF entry. “When I met her, she told me she’s a really big fan of horror films. She likes movies. She has taste in movies. It was so easy working with her because she’s a very technical actress. She understands what I need as a filmmaker and the process was smooth. It’s a very challenging role because when you think of good acting here in the Philippines or when you say best actress, sometimes the expectation is really high drama where you really project your lines and it’s highly emotional. But in this film, she plays a very pathetic numb content moderator. So that’s the challenge for her. She had to act with restraint and subtlety. Everything should just be seen in her body language and mannerisms and her eye movements,” kwento ng direktor. (Reports from JCC)
