On May 5, comedians MC Muah and Lassy Marquez attested to Chad Kinis’ director growth.
At the media conference for ‘Beks Days of our Lives’, which LionhearTV covered, the Beks Battalion members cited how Kinis achieved his dream of becoming a filmmaker.
Muah highlighted how Kinis studied to become a writer-filmmaker. Muah said, “Alam niyo po si Chad, nag-aral po ‘yan ng directing, pati sa Camera, pinag-aralan po niya yan lahat. Bago po siya nag-direk ng movie na ito. Napakatalino po talaga, at napaka-brilliant ng mind ni Chad, lagi ko lang sinasabi sa kaniya, wag lang siya sasali sa Beauty Contest.”
Marquez expressed pride in their fellow Beks Battalion member for fulfilling his ambition.
Kinis recounted how he began his directing journey by writing scripts for productions and then learning about filmmaking through the workshop ‘Write, Shoot, Cut, Play.’
Kinis shared, “Before po kasi, nag-susulat na ako for others. Tapos una ko pong inaral talaga, writing, so nag-susulat ako ng script, for– sa iba, pero shorts lang po talaga. Ito po kaya hindi ko nasulat script nito, parang overloaded na rin ‘yung ano ko, parang hands on rin po ako while doing the script and everything.
He added, “Tapos nag-aral po ako ng directing sa Write, Shoot, Cut, Play, kay-sa may ari po, the late Francis Magalona. Tapos ‘yung sila Direk Topel (Lee) po, si Direk Roman (Perez Jr.), sila Direk (Raymond) Red, sila po ‘yung mga mentors po namin doon sa Write, Shoot, Cut, Play.”
As for their upcoming film, Muah, Marquez, and Kinis star in the dramatic comedy movie Beks Days of Our Lives with John ‘Sweet’ Lapus, Debbie Garcia, Ruby Ruiz, John Flores, Pepita Curtis, Divine Tetay, Tonton Soriano, Axel Torres, Kirst Viray, Yuki Zakamoto, and Raven Molina.
Under Kinis’ direction, ‘Beks Days of Our Lives’ opens in cinemas nationwide on May 17.
