Pushcart Tales ni Sigrid Bernardo babandera sa CinePanalo Film Festival

NAGANAP nitong Martes ang first shooting day ng pelikulang “Pushcart Tales” directed by Direk Sigrid Andrea P. Bernardo na isa sa napiling finalist sa Puregold CinePanalo Film Festival na magaganap mula Marso 15 hanggang 17.

Mapapanuod ito sa Gateway cinemas at posibleng mapanood din sa major cities nationwide. Samantala, ang short films naman ay mapapanood din sa Puregold official social media channels on YouTube and TikTok.

Ang grant na natanggap ng “Pushcart Tales” ay P2.5M at aminado ang Film Festival Director na si Chris Cahilig na maliit ito kaya tumutulong din sila na makahanap ng additional sponsors sa bawa’t pelikula.

Sa ginanap na “Lights, Camera, Panalo: Puregold CinePanalo Film Festival” ipinakilala ang mga finalist directors sa pangunguna ni Ms Ivy Hayagan-Piedad, Senior Manager for Marketing ng Puregold Price Club, Inc. Nagpapasalamat rin siya sa lahat ng sumali sa advocacy project nila dahil hindi nila inakalang maraming interesado at medyo nahirapan sila sa pagpili sa mga ito.

Ang selection committee ay binubuo ng veteran film and television director Jeffrey Jethurian; film critic Tito Valiente; award-winning filmmaker Victor Villanueva; Puregold senior marketing manager Ivy Hayagan-Piedad; Lyle Gonzales of Republic Creative; at CinePanalo festival director Chris Cahilig.

Samantala, nakuwento naman ni direk Sigrid ang gist ng “Pushcart Tales” na tungkol ito sa delubyo.

“Tungkol sa delubyo tapos may na-trap na tatlong staff ng grocery na sa loob ay may tatlong customers. It’s about ‘bagyo’ in life and how will you able to surpass this storm in your life, ‘yun lang, di ba panalo?” masayang kuwento ng direktora.

Ang cast ng “Pushcart Tales” ay sina Nonie Buencamino, Shamaine Buencamino, Teri Marvar, Elora Espano, Harvey Bautista, at Direk Carlitos Siguion Reyna.

“I’m so excited with my cast because most of it are all monologues and they’re playing dual roles and excited to work with them and most especially kay Teri Malvar na una kong artista sa Huling Chacha ni Anita and Shamaine as my Lorna (bida sa Lorna).

Base sap ag-uusap namin ni direk Sigrid ay nabanggit namin na may kamahalan ang talent fees ng mga artista niya dahil lahat ay kilala kaya paano niya mapagkakasya ang P2.5M grant.

“Naku mahirap pero may mga ongoing na kinakausap na sponsors and all. So, sana maging okay ang lahat. Tulungan kami ng line producer ko and nagpapatulong rin kami kay direk Chris ng Puregold,” katwiran sa amin ng direktora.

Mahilig pala talagang sumali si direk Sigrid sa mga pakontes at lagi naman siyang nanalo kung saan siya nagsimula bilang indie director hanggang sa nakatawid na sa mainstream dahil sa box office movie niyang Kita Kita noong 2017 na pinagbidahan nina Empoy Marquez at Alessandra de Rosi produced ng Spring Films.
