MMFF 2023 Entry "KAMPON" Starts Unusual Scaring on December 25th

MMFF is certainly a venue to watch a multitude of genres, and with that comes Quantum Films' entry called KAMPON starring Derek Ramsay and Beauty Gonzales, will be shown this Christmas day along with 9 other entries in the festival. The movie is about the depths of love, divulging secrets and fear brought about the unknown. They're a couple, "reproductively" challenged and was trying to conceive for over 8 years. A child suddenly appears and claims to be Clark Martinez's (played by Derek) daughter. The material has been in worked on for years, and has been so good to have landed the 4th during selections, so they meticulously worked on cinematography, scoring and it's effects, you'll love how it will look like in cinemas. This is the first time Beauty Gonzalez is doing MMFF 2023, and the addition of Zeinab Harake to the cast will get this a fresh take on just your usual other woman role. It was fun to see her talk about her character after the press conference. 

Derek says "We never seemed to have problems on the set, Atty. Joji doesn't sugarcoat things, and I like that. If she doesn't like what you're doing, she will tell you and call it out. When she is happy, she tells so and encourages us."

Asked about his personal life he says "Right now me and my wife are also trying to conceive a baby, so I need to really be hands on in taking care of the wife and hopefully a baby. We will focus on that and try, sad we lost the baby on a trip in Spain. She is okay, I am a little off, I just worry."

About Zeinab, Derek adds "Zeinab? I couldn't believe she was a first timer, she went straight to character and she delivered in our scene, we had to bite lips, slam me on the wall."

Beauty says "They really take good care of me and we did scenes as fast as we could so there wouldn't be discomfort for both of us. You can ask my husband or Ellen, we laugh about these things."

Here's our video coverage of the media conference this afternoon.

Being part of the first 4 films announced this MMFF 2023, Atty. Joji of Quantum Films knows that they have a really good film in their hand. They are now going to battle it out with 9 other entries in the festival, but with confidence, they hope to offer this project that has been made with quality in mind. It has already been part of a film festival in Portugal, which they also proudly announced during the press conference. This is also somewhat a comeback film of Derek Ramsay who said he couldn't say NO when it's Atty. Joji asking him to make a movie. I also find Zeinab's character quite an interesting one, albeit her first time in a project like this, she got the nod of her fellow actors. Beauty as always delivers, the interaction between her, the kid Erin Espiritu and Derek Ramsay would be a fun way to showcase their acting chops, perhaps win them a coveted Best Actor, Actress, or Child Star award in the process. Make sure you make this as part of your movie watching lineup this Christmas. 

 It just screams good, hopefully you'll end up doing that too. 

ZEINAB HARAKE Endorses Beautéderm Oral Care Line

After recently garnering a whopping 13 Million subscribers on YouTube, and having a total of 50 Million followers on social media platforms, your favorite girl ZEINAB HARAKE is taking another feather on her hat as the newest endorser of Beautéderm Corporation's Oral Care Line. This includes Koreisu Whitening Toothpaste, Koreisu Family Toothpaste, Etre Claire Mouth Wash and Etre Claire Mouth Spray.

 

Beautéderm  CEO and President Ms. Rei Anicoche Tan says "I remember asking my team of who would be able to do this as I've got celebrities in the Beautéderm brand. She's different as she's an influencer and the task is to communicate the message of our oral care line to an even wider audience. I needed someone young and thought of getting her, I was impressed that in a single live video, they already garnered thousands of views. When I watched her, she's super natural, she's not fake and just do it as a task (because we all know they sometimes are). There really is a clamor for her, a lot of people have asked for her so we did it. Zeinab represents the youth, the Gen Z's, and she is the perfect fit for the brand."

Zeinab says "I am so happy that I get to be one of the babies of Ms. Rei Tan. I've seen how she takes care of the people who endorse Beautéderm and this is such an honor. I promise that I will take care of the trust they've given me and I love you! I'm pretty new in the industry, I make videos, I never imagined that my followers would grow this much, for all the work we do I am happy to be part of Beautéderm." 

She adds "I told Mama Rei my crushes, I love Marian Rivera, she's always been my peg. I would love to be with her and the others who are also part of Beautéderm. I got a little shy when Piolo Pascaul commented on one of my posts and said my signature line "ARAT NA!". I also would like to do events with Dingdong Dantes if possible, because only Beautéderm has made it possible with their endorsers. There's no network wars here."

Here's a portion of the press conference a few days ago

Zeinab Harake will also be appearing in the launch of BEAUTéDERM Ayala Mall Cloverleaf (Sunday 3PM) and will be appearing with Jelai Andres, Ruru Madrid, Bianca Umali, JC Santos and Boobay. There will also be a meet and greet session if you meet the required purchase. So if you're raring to see them in the flesh, the time is now! 

Congratulations to Beautéderm and Ms. Rei Tan. Also to ZEINAB HARAKE for conquering odds and now is reaping the fruits of her labor. She's a very nice lady who deserves the best things in life because she's worked hard for it.
