00:00And also, it's really a new concept po. It happens in new life po, the young one and then the older one.
00:15Demi Moore.
00:16Yes. And saan po kayo naku-viewed up ng ganyang klase, parang story line po?
00:22Meron po ba kayong kakilala na maybe ganyan din po yung love story?
00:27Dahil marami nang gano'ng kwento, parang yeah, you kind of research and look for these similar stories, what's really happening in this kind of ano.
00:37And then I've read like an essay na parang may mga gano'ng real life stories nila.
00:44So parang gano'ng, mostly on what I read, more than people nakakilala.
00:50Thank you very much. And Ms. Chara and Sir Lingo, kayo po pala yung nag-initiate nitong idea na magkasama sa isang project.
01:00Saan po nag-umpisa yung ganyan na idea to work together po?
01:06Yung mga ganyan na yung common friend.
01:08Nakausap namin separately.
01:10So hino'ng ako, ano?
01:13Ano?
01:14Ano, ano't?
01:15Ano, ano, tinigin mo?
01:16Ako, nagkakita yung about a movie.
01:17Probably tuwa na?
01:18Oo naman, ano.
01:19Asabi, ano?
01:20I mean, yeah.
01:21I mean, that would be very, very interesting.
01:23I'm open to that.
01:25and uh on a separate uh occasion, but then um uh as I believe a chance encounter
01:32that Ma'am was in the same building where we were friends and said, Ma'am, are you open to this film?
01:42A young girl.
01:44You know, it's so cute.
01:48It's not like that, it's a film.
01:52But I was like, I'm like, oh, I don't know what's interesting, but it's not for everyone,
02:02I'm like, what's the feeling of the feeling, especially on that period and especially when I want to say a film.
02:10In this case, I was a director of the film.
02:14So, we were very open to some kind of stories.
02:17Of course, there were some brainstorming sessions.
02:20There were also some scripts that were presented
02:23that we didn't want to go in the direction of the film.
02:27And that's when, directly, Irene came into the picture.
02:31So, we were closer to our collaboration together with our friend.
02:37And we all agreed that this is what we want to go in the direction of the film.
02:42Let's build on that.
02:44So, that was the beginning of this film, seven days ago.
02:48So, you're a producer, sir.
02:50One of them.
02:51One of them.
02:52One of them.
02:53So, how do you manage the flow of the movie and then also acting in front of the camera with Ms. Shadow?
03:02Whether Orin is a material protocol.
03:04It's how you did instead of making the film Ohh, it began to begin to separate the film.
03:07There, it began.
03:08So, everything went over.
03:09So, it was there.
03:10I began to do that.
03:11I'm gonna be sure that the administrative stuff, the backend work was already done.
03:14to go to the helicopter. So, I really didn't want to go there.
03:20And full trust. Full trust, of course, to our partners, to our director.
03:25Because he has his expertise.
03:28And everything is collaborative.
03:31So, it's a great working relationship.
03:33So, when you look at the principal photography,
03:39it's already suave.
03:41There's no need to worry about it.
03:44So, we can only understand our roles.
03:48And also, speaking of roles,
03:50it's not a romantic story for you.
03:55And this one is younger and older.
03:59What do you think it's different from the past projects?
04:05And also, how is it working?
04:07This channel mentioned about you.
04:09And how is it working with this family?
04:13There's a lot of difference.
04:16There's a lot of difference.
04:17Especially, it's what we did now.
04:20Compared to what I did 10 years ago.
04:23Of course, it's different.
04:25It's different.
04:26It's different.
04:27It's different.
04:28It's different.
04:29It's different.
04:30It's different.
04:31It's different.
04:32It's different.
04:33It's different.
04:35It's different.
04:36It's different.
04:38It's different.
04:39It's different.
04:40It's different.
04:41It's different, it's different.
04:42I don't know,
04:44so, we have this unique way of presenting those.
04:45Now, with regards to our partnership,
04:47I think it's a beautiful partnership.
04:50I love it, and I think this is just one of them, creating both characters, Ryan and Bendy, a beautiful narrative.
05:17So, the experience of doing that, for me, is something really memorable because I never thought that I would be able to do it in my life, but it's impossible.
05:32So, anything is possible. Especially, I know it's been a long time ago because, of course, when you come to ABSGNA, it's different.
05:41But, there are a lot of people who are working together. There are a lot of people who are working together.
05:48We are working together.
05:50And even more films.
05:52And now, Ma'am Charo is a very special.
05:57To do this with Ma'am Charo, it's something very very special.
06:00So, unfolding all of these right in front of my eyes is something very very special.
06:06That's why I was reading some of them.
06:08And then I said, I'm currently so très fiercely what happened in the same time.
06:09A very special.
06:11But, I think I was like, you know, who wants to say that?
06:13They would say something very special.
06:16I mean, it can't be honest.
06:18I know it's a very special.
06:21The past was like, we didn't know it.
06:25And it wasn't a snorke.
06:34Wow.
06:37Because they are just pranked.
06:39Oh, they were pranked?
06:41Yeah, they were pranked.
06:43So, how is that?
06:44We just pranked them.
06:45It really is a pranked.
06:48And it was all the other people who know that.
06:50And they were pranked quickly.
06:56They were pranked.
07:00I did improvisation.
07:02And you allow for that, but yeah, I got it.
07:06Okay.
07:07Invite na lang po readers and the viewers of Manila Times to watch before you do.
07:15Yeah, please come and watch this beautiful experience.
07:19Only we know.
07:20We promise you, what?
07:23Soulful, killing, and I'm sure that you will fall in love.
