Andrea Torres, happy to host Argentine film crew for upcoming film, 'Pasional,' in Philippines

Sparkle Actress Andrea Torres warmly welcomed the Argentine film crew for her upcoming international movie, Pasional, here in the Philippines last April 2022.

Among them are the film's director, Francisco D'Intino, assistant director, Nicolas Cacciavillani, producer, Agustin Clerico, and Andrea's leading man, Marcelo Melingo.

The Pasional team flew to the country to shoot a few scenes in Caramoan, Camarines Sur, and Coron, Palawan which they have just finished filming.

Andrea's upcoming project was announced during the latter parts of 2021 and filming began soon after in Cordoba, Argentina. In an interview with Argentine media company El Doce last October, Andrea shared her excitement to take part in this international project and stated that she swiftly fell in love with the Latin American country.

“I think the similarities that it has with our country: the people, the feel of the place. That's why it didn't take a lot for me to adjust because I really felt like I'm at home,” she said.

In Pasional, Andrea will portray the role of Mahalia, a former tango dancer and current jury of the International Tango Dance Festival. Despite only having to learn tango just for the role, the Sparkle actress has stated that she enjoys the intimacy of the dance.

Pasional is a collaboration between Argentina's Malevo Films, independent Filipino producer Ferdinand Dimadura, and GMA-7. Through the film, GMA hopes to increase its international presence while also creating content for Kapuso audiences abroad.

GMA Network's First Vice President for Program Management Joey Abacan has also expressed his happiness both for Andrea and GMA and sees even more international collaborations for GMA in the future.
