ANTOINETTE Jadaone’s film about not meeting one’s heroes swept this year’s Metro Manila Film Festival’s (MMFF) awarding ceremonies, going home with nine awards including all of the night’s biggest ones: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress for 24-year-old Charlie Dizon and Best Actor for Paulo Avelino.
The film has been a frontrunner since it was announced as an entry to the festival in November due to the praise it got when it premiered at the 2020 Tokyo International Film Festival.
What was more impressive was that Ms. Dizon won the Best Actress Award over seasoned veterans including the Superstar herself, Nora Aunor.
