With One Look at “Rooms”
Acting in the short film “Rooms” was really such a delight, having worked together with Director Paolo Herras previously in “Ang Manghuhula” and “Lambanog“. This was part of the 35mm film workshop, conducted by Neil Daza under Mowelfund.
Acting with no dialogue is always a treat for any actor, you have to convey everything with one look and your whole body language, and requires you to be totally in tune with the director and the creative team. It was like doing a silent movie, or a music video~ I had fun, and I really love the music as well.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did in making it! :-)

What you said is true, acting without any dialogue is a treat (and I would say a challenge) to any actor. Furthermore, these types of artistic presentations attract only a limited audience. I myself am “an artist by heart” so I appreciate them. And I would say, you have overcome the challenge beautifully. You have very good projections!!! Congratulations are in order for you and your whole crew!
