Why Roselle Monteverde prefers budding actors


If there's one important thing that Roselle Monteverde learned from her film producer mother, Lily Monteverde, it's taking risks.

In an interview, the COO & Vice President of Regal Entertainment Inc. and Regal Multimedia Inc. explained that, more often than not, taking risks leads to new, interesting discoveries.

She applies the thought in creating films, shows.

And that is what she and GMA have been doing with "Regal Studio Presents," which just marked its first year anniversary.

Note that, once again, the anthology series will feature many budding actors.

According to Roselle, it is, again, all about taking risks.

"As long as magagaling sila, why not," she related, noting how the thought applies not only to actors but directors and writers as well.

"The best thing about it is that we also get to help these great talents show their abilities," she added.

Roselle and GMA also approach "Regal Studio Presents" as if they are doing a full-length film.

She also proudly noted that they make an effort not to be "formulaic."

"Although may mga existing guidelines kami, we exert effort to make each episode new to eyes of the people. We also make it interesting enough for them to stick and watch the whole show."

The romcom "Love Your Beat" kicks off the anniversary special on Sept. 11.

Featuring Kapuso stars Lianne Valentin and Carlo San Juan and directed by Crisanto Aquino, the story follows two musically inclined individuals who will share a special bond.

It will be followed by "Eat Must Be Love," starring Almira Muhlach, Bryce Eusebio, and Jana Taladro.

Directed by Xion Lim, the offering revolves around a girl dreaming of working in a high-class culinary establishment.

Completing the month-long celebration is the heart-warming episode "Win a Date," which airs Sept. 25.

Starring Yasser Marta and Althea Ablan under the direction of Joel Ferrer, the episode is about a big fan of a celebrity heartthrob winning an exclusive one-on-one date with him.

"Regal Studio Presents" airs every Sunday at 4:35 PM after "The Wall Philippines" on GMA.
