Kelvin Miranda captivates viewers in “Missed Connections”
Sparkle’s talented and sought-after leading man Kelvin Miranda takes center stage with his newest Netflix movie: “Missed Connections.”
Produced by Kroma Entertainment, “Missed Connections” is about a hopeless romantic who turns to an app to seek out a man she just met after their unforgettable counter.
Kelvin expressed his gratitude for doing another amazing movie, “Masaya ako sa proyektong ito kasi naramdaman ko ‘yung suporta ng management at network. Nag-audition po ako sa role as Norman and nagpapasalamat ako na nakuha ko ito. Masarap po sa feeling lalo na at first time kong nakatrabaho sina Miles Ocampo at Chie Filomeno. Very professional at collaborative po silang katrabaho.”
He briefly shared what to look forward to in the movie and his character, “Ang movie po ay tungkol sa connection na hinahanap natin. At ‘yung missed connection po nangyayari ito araw-araw so masasabi kong relatable at nakaka-touch ‘yung kwentong mangyayari dito. First time ko rin gumanap sa pelikulang hindi chick boy or bad boy yung character ko. Ang character ko dito ay wholesome talaga at walang girlfriend since birth so wala siyang experience at all. Hindi niya alam paano makipag-usap sa mga babae at kung papaano sasabihin yung nararamdaman niya. Very awkward yung character ko na magugustuhan ng manunood kasi light lang yung personality niya. May romantic connection din po ako kay Miles and Chie at doon iikot yung storya.”
Kelvin’s busy schedule does not hinder him from exploring opportunities and growing as an artist. “Ngayong gumagawa po ako ng mga pelikula, nag-stop po muna ako sa pag-venture sa music pero hindi ko po sinasara ‘yung pinto ko for opportunities. Mas nag-focus lang po ako sa pelikula kasi kailangan ko pong paghandaan ‘yung characters. Stressful din po in a good way to portray different roles kasi nacha-challenge [ko] ‘yung sarili ko na hanapin ‘yung bagay na ‘di ko noon kayang gawin. Napakarami kong natututunan doon sa characters na ginagampanan ko,” he shared.
Kelvin has shown great promise and versatility as an actor through his onscreen projects like “The Lost Recipe,” “Mano Po Legacy: Her Big Boss,” “TOLS,” “Unica Hija,” and “Dead Kids.” He is also part of GMA Network’s “Walang Matigas na Pulis sa Matinik na Misis” where he plays the role of Gary.
“Missed Connections,” meanwhile, is available on Netflix.
