Congratulations Glaiza and Chynna for a job well done!
Glaiza De Castro and Chynna Ortaleza are happy to announce that an indie film where they both star in entitled 'Maria' made it to the short film category of Cannes Film Festival in France this May.
'Maria' is a passion project of director ER Alviz together with young aspiring filmmakers and the two Kapuso stars willingly extended their help. Chynna was chosen by the director while Glaiza was recommended for the main role. The short film premiered in Cinemalaya last year and was showcased in Q Cinema Film Festival.
In the film, Glaiza plays the role of a nun who gets pregnant unexpectedly and Chynna portrays Glaiza's conscience. According to the film's producer Therese de Guzman, it was easy and comfortable to work with Chynna and Glaiza even if it was only a low budget production.
"Masaya to work with [Glaiza and Chynna] hindi nahirapan 'yung director kahit maliit lang din 'yung team," she says.
Hard work paid off for the whole team when they found out that they will be a part of the prestigious film festival and get international recognition this May.
Glaiza congratulated the whole team on her Instagram and thanked Chynna for giving her the acting gig.
"So happy to hear that Maria is part of Festival de Cannes, Court Métrage this coming May 2016! Congrats everyone! And thank you @chynsortaleza (alam mo na kung bakit) Fly away Maria," Glaiza said.
While Chynna captioned her post with: "Come May, our film and our wonderful team will be flying to Cannes! #Maria To God be the Glory! Passion always prevails."
