By EJ Chua

Masayang ibinahagi ng Kapuso star na si Jasmine Curtis-Smith na isa na namang pangarap niya ang natupad matapos makapasok sa lineup ng Sundance Film Festival 2023 ang international horror-thriller movie na kaniyang pinagbidahan.

Ito ay ang pelikulang In My Mother's Skin, na idinirek ng Filipino writer at director na si Kenneth Dagatan.

Nito lamang Miyerkules, inanunsyo ng Sundance Institute ang listahan ng mga pelikulang kanilang napili para sa gaganaping film festival sa susunod na taon.

Nang makarating kay Jasmine ang good news na ito, agad niya itong ibinahagi sa kaniyang Instagram account.

Ayon sa caption ng aktres, “A dream come true. Sundance Film Festival 2023, we are coming for you. From watching old Sundance entries in my highschool bedroom to being casted in a film that will premiere at the film festival!!! It's been 12 years since I began professionally acting and this definitely takes the freaking highlight.

"@kenndagatan's In My Mother's Skin will screen under the Midnight section where only 8 films are chosen, the section that discovered some of my favessssss like Hereditary, Blair Witch Project and The Babadook. We are the ONLY foreign language film in the section!

"Our film is a Philippine-Singapore-Taiwan co-production with Epic Media, Zhao Wei Films, Volos Films and Clover Films, supported by Film Development Council of the Philippines, Film Philippines, Singapore Film Commission, Taiwan Creative Content Agency and BiFan NAFF Discovery of Asia Prize.

“Perhaps the most notorious Sundance program, Midnight has long had a reputation for screening films guaranteed to provoke a reaction. Historically, tremendously diverse films that range across many genres and subject matters have occupied these screening slots. As the festival itself suggests, Park City at Midnight is a good place to find a new cult classic…”

Kasunod nito, nakatanggap ng pagbati ang aktres mula sa kaniyang kapatid na si Anne Curtis, at ilang kaibigan sa show business na sina Catriona Gray, Miles Ocampo, Isabelle Daza, at Max Collins, at marami pang iba.

Bukod kay Jasmine, kabilang din sa cast ng pelikula ang Kapuso actress na si Beauty Gonzalez na masaya ring ibinahagi sa kaniyang Instagram account ang natanggap niyang balita.

Sulat ni Beauty, “So proud to announce that our film 'In My Mother's Skin' will premiere this January at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival in Utah. Shot entirely in my home province of Negros, and in particular at the iconic Oro Plata Mata Gaston House, I feel this film could possibly be a future Pilipino Cult Classic. So excited for everyone to get to watch it...”
