Suspense-drama film Nelia makes it as one of the official films in competition in this year's Metro Manila Film Festival.

Produced by the newest film company, A and Q Productions Film Inc., Nelia features beauty queen and Kapuso actress WinWyn Marquez, who will surely intrigue, frighten jolt, and make the holiday audiences scream.

In this movie, Winwyn portrays the title role, a nurse whose womanly instincts and gut feel are aroused because of the mysterious cases happening in the hospital where she work. To what revelations her curiosity will lead her to uncover, all of it will be unraveled in this contemporary motion picture.

Marquez's reaction on Nelia being part of this year's MMFF: “I was watching from FB Live nung announcement and kinakabahan ako kasi, siyempre, mga unang movies na binanggit napakalaking mga artista at pinaghandaan na mga pelikula din. Nung biglang binanggit yung synopsis napa-record ako bigla kasi 'di ako makapaniwala. Mixed emotions talaga--kabado, tuwa, takot, etc., pero sobrang grateful na napili ang Nelia dahil alam ko buong cast and production binigay lahat nung ginagawa ang film.”

Nelia also features an impressive cast of Pinoy A-list actors including Mon Confiado, Dexter Doria, Lloyd Samartino, Dan Alvaro, Ali Forbes, Shido Roxas, and Raymond Bagatsing as Dr. Rey.

Completing the cast are Sarah Javier, April Anne Dolot, Massey Sanshoddin, Red Atienza and introducing Juan Carlos Galano and Aldwin Alegre.

Directed by Lester Dimaranan with screenplay written by one of its producer Melanie Honey Quiño, the movie was shot in the post card perfect and Instagram-friendly location of Gapan, Nueva Ecija.

Nelia is the first of many quality and entertaining film offerings from A and Q Production Films, Inc.
