Holding the "Special Citation for Best Acting Ensemble" trophy at the World Premieres Film Festival 2016 ???????? This is just one of the five awards our film "EDSA" received tonight. All praises to you GOD! Congratulations to my #EDSA film family! ???????? This is my very first Indie film. The experience has actually encouraged me to work even harder in my future projects! I hope and pray that I get more meaty roles in the #IndieFilm realm! Indie films might be a great opportunity for me to explore my capabilities as an actress. Why not something dark & grunge the next time?! A character that I have never portrayed on TV?! ???????????????? Luke 1:37 "For nothing will be impossible with God.”
