Why producer Baby F. Go is proud of 'Almost A Love Story'

-


"Almost A Love Story," which stars Barbie Forteza and Derrick Monasterio and produced by BG Productions International Inc., will finally hit theaters nationwide starting April 11.

And who could be more proud of this film than its hardworking producer Baby F. Go who is joining the bandwagon of mainstream movies for the first time. "Pinaghirapan namin ang pelikula na ito dahil unang-una, hindi ito ginawa sa Pilipinas. Most of the scenes were shot in Italy kaya mahal ang pelikulang ito."

At the bloggers' press conference held at Max's Restaurant in Timog, Quezon City, Go weighed in on the difference between making a mainstream movie and an independent film.


"Ang natutunan ko sa pag-gawa ng pelikulang ito ay iba yung market. Kasi ito, ang market nito ay kikita yung pelikula mo kaagad. Kasi ma-ko-convince ang mga tao na malaki ang mga artista sa pelikulang ito. Malaki rin naman sa indie kaya lang sa indie more on prestige at nakakabawi naman ako kahit papaano," Go said.

Go said that she hopes that "Almost A Love Story'' will make a splash in the box-office. "Ito sinusubukan ko lang na baka mas kumita ako ng malaki."

But Go pointed out that indie films will continue to be at the forefront of BG Productions International Inc. despite her successful effort to penetrate the mainstream or commercial movie.


"Tuloy pa rin ang pag-gawa namin nag independent films. Hindi ko pababayaan ang indie. Maganda na nga ang nangyayari sa BG Productions dahil meron na akong indie at meron na akong mainstream," she said. "Nagba-balance lang ako ngayon sa pag-gawa ng pelikula."

"Through this movie, makikita mo ang panibagong pananaw ng ibang tao. Makikita mo rito ang iba-ibang view sa Italy na hindi mo makikita rito sa atin," Go added.


Aside from Italy, Go has produced several indie movies abroad. Hopefully, Go said that she could produce a film that will be shot in Australia.

"Wala pang project for Australia pero parang gusto ko na doon ang susunod na pelikula na gagawin ng BG sa abroad," she said.

Joining her at the bloggers press conference were supporting stars Lotlot de Leon and Ana Capri. They were also joined by Jean Go-Marasigan, daughter of Baby Go, and line producer Dennis Evangelista.


Critics said that the title of the movie "Almost A Love Story" is apparently giving the audience a hint that Derrick and Barbie will not fall in love in the end of the film which is directed by Louie Ignacio.

Go said that critics could give their own opinion about the title of the movie. But they could be wrong in their analysis.

"Sabi nila, dahil may 'almost' daw sa title ng movie, ibig sabihin hindi raw nagkatuluyan si Derrick at Barbie sa ending. May twist sa ending ng pelikula. Syempre ayokong sabihin kung ano ang mangyayari. Panoorin na lang nila ang pelikula at magdala sila ng panyo," she said. - ROBERT R. REQUINTINA

Kapamilya star Diego Loyzaga has admitted that he is reaching out to his father chief operating officer of Tourism Promotions Board Cesar Montano but he doesn't know if his dad knew that he was making the move. "Oo I am. Pero I don't even know kung alam n'ya. During the Christmas party of ABS CBN last year, I was with Tito Bayani (Agbayani). E magkapitbahay silang dalawa. And even Tito Bayani was telling me hindi na n'ya nakikita si Erpat. Lagi s'yang busy. Sinabi ni Tito Bayani, 'why don't you just text him?' "said Diego, when asked if he's reaching out to his father, during an interview on "Tonight With Boy Abunda" on ABS CBN. "Sabi ko, 'why not?' Nanghihinayang ako eh. Kung kelan ako sobrang seryoso na sa ginagawa ko sa showbiz na 'to, I wanna learn so much. I'm taking workshops with Tito Pen Medina at kung sinu-sino pa. Why not my dad? Why not my father?; "Nanghihinayang lang ako. Sa kont

Megastar Sharon Cuneta has complained about the construction of her neighbor's condominium unit, saying that it brought stress to her family.

Her complete post: "We are sleep-deprived & the noise is stressful for me, my husband and and my children when we are home, that living in a beautiful building that has its own hotel and restaurants (and that cost more than what I sold our Wack-Wack house for!?!) still makes us all want to move out and check into a nearby hotel or transfer to a house or another condo!; "I understand how uncomfortable it is for a homeowner to have to do some construction in his own property and know he’s inconveniencing and bothering neighbors; "I am usually very understanding.
