I’ve always wanted to produce quality films—Alfred Vargas
Actor-politician Cong. Alfred Vargas is very honored and excited to be part of the upcoming Metro Manila Film Festival 2020.
Nakasali na si Alfred sa MMFF previously via Bridal Shower and Banal na kapwa nagkamit ng awards.
For the MMFF 2020 edition ay isang love story na isinulat ni Ricky Lee titled Tagpuan ang entry ni Alfred under his own production.
Bakit dapat panoorin ng audience ang Tagpuan?
“It’s a Ricky Lee love story, directed by Mac Alejandre snd shot in Hong Kong and New York. Of course, there is the mesmerizing performances of Iza Calzado and Shaina Magdayao.
“Tagpuan is about real love that transcends conventions and judgment. It faces pain bravely not knowing how things will end up. Love is how you are willing to fight for something until the end. You’ll know what I mean when you watch Tagpuan,” pahayag pa ni Alfred sa pelikula.
Ang magandang kuwento raw ng Tagpuan ang dahilan kung bakit naisip niya na iprodyus ito.
“It is a beautiful and real love story. It’s the kind of love that we adults have gone through. I’ve always wanted to produce quality films that the audience can relate to and remember forever.”
Ito ang ikalawang pelikula ni Alfred na mula sa script ni Ricky Lee. Ang una ay ang internationally-acclaimed film titled Kaputol na dinirek din ni Mac Alejandre.
Ano ang excitement na hatid sa iyo ng paggawa ng movie ma isinulat ni Rivky Lee?
“A Ricky Lee script is always an adventure in terms of acting craft. You’ll have to read his script several times to truly get the most out of his characters. There are always new revelations even while actually doing the scenes already. There is always a deeper level the character presents every time. That is why doing his scripts is such an endeavor to be totally grateful for. You’ll learn so many things just by portraying the role.”
How is it like working under Mac Alejandre? Please describe him as a director.
Direk Mac is one of the most brilliant directors I have ever worked with. He’s definitely up there in his generation of filmmakers.
Direk Mac has both the heart and the mind as his strengths. He follows his gut and always has a clear understanding of the emotions of the film. He’s definitely the actors’ director.
He will make sure to get the best out of you as an actor. He’s easy to trust especially during very difficult scenes. And most importantly, you can feel much he loves filmmaking it rubs into you as well.
