Maria Lacson

You've seen "Call Me By Your Name" and "Portrait of Lady on Fire". So, what now?

Don't worry I'll get to the film recommendations in a jiffy after giving you a bit of a backstory. Who doesn't love a good ol' backstory? I'm very grateful for the choices that I have made in my life over the past several months as they sprung me into the deep world of filmmaking. I became a hermit which was perfect cause it was cold outside -- and I live in Canada. And no we don't all look like lumberjacks. Since my unemployment (Courtesy of Covid-19) I have finally devoted my time and energy to studying film and acting, in doing so broadened my cinematic knowledge and opened different doors, and honestly, I can never look cinema the same way again. Gone are the days when I would put on a movie just for fun or just to have it as background noise. I've come to truly appreciate the art and its everlasting bittersweet residues.
