While we prepare for our no-holds-barred Cinemalaya episode, we have a little teaser to whet your appetites. During the festival, we (and a bunch of other people) talked with Crisel Consunji, star of PH-HK collab Still Human, and Ruby Ruiz, Cinemalaya 2019 Best Actress. Crisel talks about the casting process that got her the job, and other challenges in playing such a role. Ruby Ruiz talks about character acting, her first lead performance, and “that” particular scene in Iska.
Notes
The audio was recorded during the Cinemalaya Eyeball event. We’ve tried to clean up the audio as much as we could, but please bear with some of the background noise.
Spoilers for Iska are present in this episode.
My personal views on Iska have changed a bit after rewatching the film, as seen in the upcoming discussion ep – John
