Edward - an edgy coming of age film - Cinemalaya 2019 Official Entry


Thop Nazareno once again will provide us a touching coming of age film but this time a more edgy and naughty one via his second full length film, Edward, Cinemalaya 2019 full length feature official entry. The film will also reflect the current status of the Philippines public health care system.

Edward is about a young boy who stuck in a public hospital where he cares for his ailing father. Estranged from his father Mario and his half- brother Renato, Edward makes the hospital ward his own playground, unmindful of the hopelessness that surrounds him. His careless attitude changes when he meets and becomes enamored with Agnes, a young patient in the hospital. Finding refuge and comfort in each other, Edward and Agnes bond and connect.

Young teen actor Louise Abuel is the lead star of Edward. Louise, a former child actor
has been part of several TV show like MMK, Ipaglaban Mo and Wansapanataym, before bagging his first title role in a film, Edward. Louise was last seen at the morning TV series “Playhouse,” starring Zanjoe Marudo and Angelica Panganiban.


Get to know more about Louise, his co-actor Elijah Canlas & director Thop Nazareno as they share their fond moments and take us behind the scenes in filming Edward.
