“Zoomers” was recently awarded Best Asian Short-Form Drama/Series at the
ContentAsia Awards.
Show director Theodore Boborol admitted he was surprised with the win.
He told us, “Kasi we’re supposedly just an online show and mga baguhan (ang stars nito). And then biglang Best Asian Short-Form series. I feel pride for the creative team, for the directors and the cast and I’m hoping na ‘yung award na ‘yan na it will inspire them, na there is no small project or big project. Just put your heart into it, mapapansin at mapapansin ka.”
Cast members Harvey Bautista, Krystl Ball, Ralph de Leon, Luke Alford, and Criza expressed their feelings relating the milestone.
Said Harvey, “Very overwhelming. Getting this sort of attention this early in my career is very scary for me. I’m not used to it. But I’m grateful, of course.”
Criza shares Harvey’s feelings regarding the win.
“Super overwhelming kasi knowing na kaming dalawa ni Harvey yung pinaka main focus ng story, at ito yung first bida role namin and then may award agad. Sobrang sarap sa feeling and in a way parang nakaka-pressure din siya,“ Criza shared.
Krystl, who is making her acting debut in the series, shared her hopes the show would pave for more projects.
She said, “I was struggling talaga kasi I have no experience at all but, I feel like there are improvements naman, particularly on how I am with my Tagalog, my acting, facial expression. I’m hoping more projects would come my way because of this.”
Ralph, who has recently secured a role in “High Street,” is happy.
“Just being able to bring my real-life experiences to the show as someone who always pressure myself to be able to achieve a lot–-medyo therapeutic din siya eh, noong nalalabas ko siya sa eksena. So, it was a great experience.“
Luke, on his part, admitted the win adds more pressure in his effort to better himself as actor.
“Kasi kasama na siya sa portfolio namin,” he explained. “So, I think, mas gagalingan ko pa, mas magfo-focus ako sa craft, kung paano mag-e-excel sa acting.”
