00:00Yung idim yung una kong pelito. So, niraramdam ko pa kung anong klaseng pagganap ang kakayanin ko, ang yung appreciation
00:12po for portraying another character, no?
00:16But, in my first film, si Direk Mike tinuruan na niya ako ng restraint, curiosity, silence, that good acting doesn't
00:34necessarily have to be announced.
00:36Yeah. So, yun ang natutunan ko. That sometimes, mas nakukuha mo yung mensahe sa isang tingin, sa silence, sa hesitation,
00:52at hindi kailangan dalhin lahat ng dialogo.
00:57Ayan. So, si Mike bilang director, alam na alam niya, yung punto de vista na gusto niyang sabihin sa mga
01:06pelikula niya.
01:07So, hindi lang siya tungkol sa storya o kwento ng mga characters niya.
01:12Kailangan maintindihan mo rin the world that the characters inhabit.
01:17Kasi, hindi lang naman si Integ kwento ang gusto niyang ilahad.
01:21Gusto rin niyang magbigay ng mas malalim na mensahe tungkol sa pamilya, sa komunidad, sa mundo.
