Derek Ramsay, First Time Napaiyak sa Movie

Derek Ramsay got emotional during the screening of Corazon: Ang Unang Aswang at SM The Block last March 14. In an interview, he admitted that it was his first time to shed tears over his own movie. A film by Richard Somes, Corazon tells the story of a young couple who are trying to have a baby, only to get caught up with a frightening turn of events. “Hindi ko nga alam kung anong sasabihin ko, pero first time ko umiyak sa pelikulang ginawa ko. Siguro four times akong umiyak habang pinapanood. Ito na yung hinintay talaga namin. Now that I’ve watched it, it’s definitely my favorite film. I’m proud of Erich Gonzales, Direk Richard (Somes) and of course myself.”

Aside from the fact that it took two years to make, Derek was amazed with how the movie showcased a love story and horror theme in a well-crafted manner. “Alam naming successful siya kasi we’re able to accomplish that na nandun yung emotions, yung pain at yung takot. At first, you’ll see the love between husband and wife and then everything changes into horror, and then at the end, everyone's looking forward to what will happen with the two characters, so ang daming highlights sa pelikula.”

Coming from the success of No Other Woman and Praybeyt Benjamin, some people are wondering whether or not Derek’s next film would also be a box office hit. But rather than worry about other people’s expectations, Derek shared that Corazon actually inspired him to pursue his craft no matter what. “There’s no pressure on my part. I really enjoyed watching the movie. I’m very proud of what I’ve accomplished in my past two movies, pero ito yung nagpatunay sa sarili ko na gusto ko na talaga ang craft ko, hilig ko na talaga ang umarte. Ito talaga ang first role ko na talagang umarte ako, walang [halong] Derek Ramsay ang makikita sa pelikulang ito.”
