Behind the Scenes:Magbalik

 

        Named after the hit song of Callalily, Magbalik. Directed by the band's drummer Lemuel Belaro. The film is a project he made with his production team Reverse Gravity Productions. The team are all students of Mowelfund Film Institute known to train and help the best directors in the industry.

Who is Jen?......

         Well thats what everybody should watch out for.She maybe someone like you .Maybe someone you already know, someone you've met or someone youll encounter in your life. I am sure you'll be learning something from her, maybe a wake up call especially to those in a relationship.

Leading Lady....

            Yes! I am already a leading lady in an indie film. It took time for me to think  what attack / effort i should put in acting and portraying my role. As the leading lady I had to touch the hearts of the women and the men whos gonna watch the film.They'd have to see some attachment to my character and the relate to the things revolving around her. Its been a good challenge for my acting career and im pretty sure i did well.

Standby.....Sound Rolling....Camera Rolling...

3-2-1......ACTION!

        Apart from acting in the film i also contributed well using what i learned in college by helping the production. Attempted to do make up especially on some scenes. Just like how things are done in my OJT in one of GMA's Productions . I was glad they allowed me to help, felt like i was not just an actress for the film but a part of the whole Team Magbalik.

Squashy......
        It was my first time working with a dog actor but what's amazing is that he really does play his role in the scenes well. Personally trained and taken care of by Direk Lem.Squashy played the role of happy an important factor in the story.

               Even if squashy is found either so hyper or sleepy in between takes, he still acts well with his scenes.the sweetest chihuahua ive worked with.

                 This caps off what i wanted to share with you in my experience on the set of Magbalik. Lets all Pray All will go well with their plans for the movie. I hope it gets through as a finalist for one of the categories of the Upcoming Metro Manila Film Festival. Again Thank you Team Magbalik ,Reverse Gravity Productions(Leizl Banci, Joseph Saluya, David Ca) and Direk Lemuel Belaro for trusting me for this project. Congratulations and all the Best in your field. I hope well have the next project soon:)

XOXO
