00:00Kapuso Prime Time Queen Marian Rivera will star in the 2024 Cinemalaya entry, Balota,

00:06which is co-produced by GMA Pictures and GMA Entertainment Group with Cinemalaya.

00:11According to Marian, she will see a lot of new things in this movie

00:15and she also went through a lot of trials.

00:18What can an actress say about her first Cinemalaya experience?

00:22Find out here in Kapuso Insider.

00:31In the movie Balota, Marian will play the role of Emy,

00:35the teacher who will save the ballot box that contains the last copy of the election results

00:40when there is chaos in their place.

00:43In an interview with GMA Network.com, Marian said that she accepted this project

00:47because it's new for her.

00:49At first, she really offered it to me with Miss Sheryl C.

00:53She said, it's like reading a balota.

00:55And of course, Director Mike Toviera.

00:57I said, okay, let me see the script.

00:59So, I read the script.

01:01I looked at it.

01:02I said, something new for me.

01:03I said, there's no reason why I won't accept it.

01:06Marian Rivera will be watching on the big screen

01:09because Emy's character has no make-up on purpose.

01:12Number one, I was glamorized here as in no make-up.

01:15Number two, maybe it's my first time with a really different look.

01:22I would say, this is probably the dirtiest look I've ever had.

01:26At the same time, her character is different.

01:29It's not typical to see in television and movies.

01:33Teacher Emy's character is really deep.

01:37Marian also mentioned that she experienced trials in making balota.

01:41But on the other hand, they helped the director, Kip Obanda,

01:45to complete her character.

01:47Challenges.

01:48There are so many challenges.

01:50It's hard to say one by one.

01:52What's good about that character is that I read it well.

01:56And Direk Kip and I had a one-on-one discussion on how to portray the character.

02:00We talked, but it's still different from the set.

02:03In every scene, he'll tell me the situation,

02:06what happened, and what reaction he wants.

02:08Direk is a light-hearted person.

02:10He's one of the directors that I can say

02:13that he'll bring out what he wants from the actress because of his help.

02:18He's a very open director.

02:20He's there for the input that you can do.

02:24He's a very light-hearted and kind person.

02:27I said that if given a chance, I want to be a director again.

02:31Marian is also very happy with her first-ever cinema experience

02:35because of the actors and the entire staff of Balota.

02:39I really didn't have any expectations.

02:41But the people were really there for me.

02:44They were there for me.

02:45They were concerned about me.

02:47Actually, it's not just me.

02:48To all the actors, to all the staff and crew,

02:51I said, wow, this is what they're like.

02:53It's like a whole family that's together and concerned about each other.

02:57So it's fun to think about and experience this kind of theme

03:01in a cinema that they say is like,

03:04the movie is good, yes,

03:06but maybe I'll make the behind-the-scenes camera bigger,

03:10the people around me.

03:12According to Marian,

03:13Balota as a movie is also connected to education,

03:16such as the importance of voting.

03:18Balota is so deep.

03:20We're just making Balota known

03:23that the vote of every Filipino is important.

03:26And you shouldn't give that vote

03:28because your future, your child's future,

03:31and the future of the entire country is at stake there.

03:34Watch Balota this August

03:36at the Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival 2024.
