Thai Actor Ananda Everingham joins Luis Alandy and Zanjoe
Marudo in the Cinemalaya filmfest entry “Kalayaan.”
What can he says about his experience filming here in the
Philippines and what can he says about filipinos? What the film all about?
Check out the premiere date of Cinemalaya films below!
In the latest celebrity update, the lead actor of 2004
horror film “Shutter” Ananda Everingham is here in the Philippines and shared
his experience about shooting Adolfo Alix Jr.’s Cinemalaya Director Showcase
entry, “Kalayaan’ at the 8th Cinemelaya press conference at the CCP
main Theater last June 28, 2012.
In fact, Ananda is about famous in Thailand as Piolo Pascual
is in the Philippines.
“I had
a great time. It’s a beautiful place,” he said.
Furthermore, he flew from Thailand and stayed in Palawan for
just 10 days to finish the film. Many times in his interview, he always
mentioned how he thinks Filipinos work harder at shoots, where they would stay
for as long as 16 to 18 hours at a time.
“I think that it was especially
intense being that we had a small window (of time) to shoot,” he said.
This is the first time he film in the country however this
is the second time here in the Philippines. He was been here in 2012 when he
promoted the Thai superhero movie “ Red Eagle” at that year’s edition of the
Cinemanila International Film Festival.
Meanwhile, Ananda plays Julian, a soldier whose three-month
service in Spratly’s’ Kota Island has been extended until further notice, in “Kalayaan”.
As he stays longer in the island, he has less and less things to do and more
time to think.
“You have a certain assumption that
he’s there by himself, and you see him go through routine… then you see his
descent into madness, basically,” as he described his character.
Alix’s latest film is Ananda’s first project in the
Philippines. He is the central character in Alix’s psychological take on the
stories of the soldiers stationed in the island.
It also starring in “Kalayaan” are Zanjoe Marudo and Luis
Alandy, who play soldiers stationed with Julian at some point during his
extended stay.
Ananda will be back in Manila for the gala premiere of “Kalayaan”
on July 24 at the CCP Main Theater.
