Back to work: Bea Alonzo teases new proj

By , on June 26, 2020



“Today is a good day!” This is how Bea Alonzo, greeted her Instagram followers on her first day to go back to work after the lockdown.

Sitting in front of the glam mirror, all white lights accentuating her, Bea posed while smiling, her head hanging and letting her hair drape.

For the 32-year-old actress, though she has made headlines these months because of an experimental project and doing charity works in the midst of the pandemic, she said that in front of the camera is still where she feels the most alive.

It can be remembered that Bea tested negative for the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) last week.

“I missed working with my glam team, whom I consider as my extended family,” she wrote, adding that she missed the nonstop chikahan.

The Instagram post also teased a project that she branded as “unique.”

“Also, this project is unique because it’s my first time working with someone I have been so curious about working with! And I had a blast! I feel grateful for being part of this new family. My heart is full!” she continued.

Bea did not disclose any other details regarding this project but it’s something that fans will certainly look forward to.

Last year, it was confirmed that she will be working on a Kapamilya series with Richard Gutierrez and Rafael Rosell. Another project with Richard was also lined up for her by Star Cinema, along with Angelica Panganiban. However, with the pandemic crisis and the ABS-CBN shutdown, it is not clear yet if her post pertained to any of the mentioned projects.

During the quarantine, Bea was busy responding to communities severely affected by the pandemic through her co-founded organization I am Hope.

She also recently became the talk of the town when she met with Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto in line with the organization’s aid efforts.

All it took was a “Hi Mama! Nakilala ko na ang paborito mo! (I finally met your favorite!)” caption from her to make netizens swoon and suggest the ship names #BeVico and #BeyVico

The Mama she was referring to is Coney Reyes, her character Bobby’s mother in the film “Four Sisters and a Wedding” which is an online favorite for memes and references. Coney is Vico’s mom in real life.

Bea’s online presence also tapped online users some months ago when her online catch-up with former on-screen partner John Lloyd Cruz via Instagram live became viral. The conversation lasted for 30 minutes. The twist is that it was actually an experimental short film called “Love Team” written by Antoinette Jadaone.

The Unconfined Cinema was founded on the idea of exploring what else cinema could be, freeing our stories to be told outside of the traditional spaces and conceptual boundaries set by the last century of the medium. In this unprecedented time of quarantine, in a time when movie production is impossible, we found it especially pressing to find ways to tell our stories. “Love Team” is a love story – whether romantic or in its other forms – told entirely within Instagram. It is a story of our times. Love stories have always had their place in Filipino cinema, and we wanted to bring the feelings that those movies inspire to a platform that has become more relevant and utilised in this time of quarantine – social media, specifically Instagram. The use of social media creates all sorts of new possibilities for storytelling. This was a story told over two weeks, adapting and evolving to real-life events, integrating our genuine sentiments over the state that we’re in. This is a platform where we all share little bits of ourselves. Through our images, this curated list of memories, we reveal what it is we want the rest of the world to see. Using the various features of Instagram, we attempted to tell a story of two people reconnecting in a trying time; separated by distance, but united in their memories. We are in a culture where the usually distinct line between reality and make-believe blur. We started this story by stating that “any resemblance to persons, living or dead, is intentional.” And that remains true. It was the only way this was possible. The Unconfined Cinema invites filmmakers and artists to join us in exploring the possibilities of our cinema. Not just on Instagram, but on every stage imaginable. #unconfinedcinema @tonetjadaone @dumpsitegallery @philbertdy #ErwinRomulo
