What an indie movie can do for a Megastar

“It was freeing,” is how Megastar Sharon Cuneta describes her first acting experience for an independent movie via Mes de Guzman’s “Ang Pamilyang Hindi Lumuluha.” The top grosser of August’s Cinemalaya Festival 2017, the well-received dramedy will hold its commercial run beginning today.

“At this stage in my life matagal na din akong nangangarap na magka-independent film,” said the 51-year-old actress a press conference on Monday, organized by the movie’s distributor Star Cinema. But while she had received numerous offers to do an indie over the years, it wasn’t until she read de Guzman’s script that she knew she had the right material in her hands.
