What Kylie discovered about Jake while shooting ‘Lockdown’ movie
Kylie Verzosa had the unique experience of working in a movie with boyfriend Jake Cuenca while they’re on home quarantine. The couple shot their own scenes with remote instructions via Zoom from their director Darnel Villaflor.
“For me it was a one-of-akind experience. Even if Jake and I have decided to do the quarantine in this apartment, siyempre parang nakaka-pressure din sa akin na umarte next to a very veteran actor,” Kylie said in a virtual media conference.
“So nakakakaba siya but otherwise, it was a very unique experience. I’m just glad to be doing work at this moment and I’m glad that this is such a good concept. Despite everything happening we were able to produce this masterpiece.”
The beauty queen, who plays a wedding singer and mistress in the movie, admitted the experience gave her deeper respect for the production crew, as she learned their job is no piece of cake.
“It’s given me a newfound respect for people working behind the scenes, to have a better understanding of what goes on behind the scenes. Sometimes as artistas, you wonder why it’s taking so long but yun pala there’s so many different aspects from the props to the audio to the director, ang dami eh. It’s a whole team that gets to produce a scene.”
Kylie saw a different side of
Jake on camera.
“It gave me an in-depth perspective of how Jake worked and I realized he’s just so professional and he turns into this different kind of Jake when he works. Hindi na siya yung sweet na he’ll hold your hand. Parang he becomes this very professional person na kahit konting lambing hindi mo mahingi sa kanya, ganun (laughs). It just gave me more respect for Jake as an artist and it gave me more respect for the whole craft,” she said.
