|Manila Bulletin
Janella Salvador has consistently demonstrated her talent and determination for over a decade, showing no signs of slowing down.
(ROBERT REQUINTINA)
She is ready to embrace new roles, challenges, and achieve her aspirations.
As one of the featured guests at Star Magic Spotlight’s September press conference, Janella shared her excitement about her role as Charlie in the Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival entry, "Open Endings."
Janella expressed how significant this film is to her, as it allowed her to participate in a queer project and portray a sapphic character. She mentioned that this project is a dream come true, as she has long wanted a role of this nature, especially one that is part of Cinemalaya.
"Alam ko paulit-ulit ko na 'tong sinasabi pero dream come true for me itong project na 'to. Ang tagal ko na rin naging vocal na gusto ko magkaroon ng role na ganito—isang queer project—tapos part pa siya ng Cinemalaya. (I know I've said this many times, but this project is a dream come true for me. I've been vocal for a long time that I wanted to have a role like this—a queer project—and then it's even part of Cinemalaya)," Janella said.
