Marami ang natuwa at bumati kay Lovi Poe sa kanyang Instagram video post habang pinapakita niya sa kanyang laptop ang ilang eksena ng pelikula niyang Latay na gawa last year.

Wagi lang naman si Lovi ng Best Actress sa katatapos na 10th International Film Festival Manhattan na ginanap sa New York. Virtual ang naging kaganapan sa pagbibigay ng mga awards dahil na rin sa pandemya. Nanalo ring Best Actor ang katambal niya sa pelikula na si Allen Dizon.

Memorable para kay Lovi ang pelikulang dinirek ni Ralston Jover at produced ni Madam Baby F. Go ng BG Productions International. Markado ang naging role ni Lovi sa pelikulang ito dahil sa ginampanan niyang isang violent wife sa kanyang battered husband na si Allen.

Pelikula

‘Lagot ka kay Bro!’ Zaijan Jaranilla, Jane Oineza nagsagpangan sa bagong pelikula

“Aaah love making films especially films with themes that are hard to talk about, with characters that are rarely seen on screen. Ihave never portrayed the role of a violent wife to a battered husband. To say it was challenging is an understatement. Iam fond of taking on off beat roles and doing projects like this that raises awareness about domestic violence, particularly towards men, which isn’t documented as much,” sinabi ni Lovi

sa kanyang IG post.

Nagpasalamat si Lovi sa kanyang direktor, sa film festival, Cinema Bravo at pinuri rin ang kanyang kapareha sa pelikula na si Allen.

“Thank you to our director Ralston Jover for giving me your full trust in playing a very unconventional character opposite to Allen Dizon. He is a very talented and expressive actor and it is truly an honor to be sharing the screen with you, We did it, @allendizon!” dagdag niya.

“As I type this, I just finished rewatching the trailer of this memorable project- LATAY. Thank you Cinema Bravo and the International Film Festival Manhattan.”

Yun na!
