Love in the Time of Retirement - 1st Ko Si 3rd, an interestingly kilig offering to the 2014 Cinemalaya Film Festival




Reality of things compels us to live life as it unfolds. We move with the times and work with what’s on hand. This often the way we create the story of our lives. There’s a chance to leave a supposed love story behind to settle with the more obvious life offerings, forgetting what could have been and then one day after many years of work and family life, fate brings back a chance for the heart to open up a space for love again. This is the story of a married retiree named Cory brought to life by Ms. Nova Villa and her loved interest when she was still single, Third portrayed by Mr. Freddie Webb in 1st Kos i 3rd, an official entry to the 2014 Cinemalaya Film Festival.


In my interview to the director of the film 1st Ko Si 3rd Real Florido said that the pureness of a love story and human story, that’s what the film offers for the audience of Cinemalaya 2014. He just made the film pure, simple and easy to understand. On his inspiration for doing the film, “It’s the story of a special someone, in a casual talk she tells her first love and I can see the glow in her eyes and from that I think that this would be a good inspiration for a film na hindi pa masyadong nakukwento sa pelikula na madaling iproduce at maganda ang tema.”


On the challenges doing the film, “Finances is a big factor aside from the seed grant provided by the Cinemalaya I have to find for a good partner and I need to talk to different people that can help me to make this film. Despite the challenges, ang daming magandang nangyari, nakuwa ko iyong mga gusto kong artista and ang daming artist na gustong maging part of this journey in making this film.” On the message that the film would like to say to the audience, “I want the audience when they come out from the cinemas to feel really good about being loved and feel good about the mere near presence of nothings up. I want them to savor in the moment, if you feel love right now feel it because it might not feel the same way again.”



Watch out for 1st Ko Si 3rd on Cinemalaya 2014 at the Cultural Center of the Philippines and Ayala Cinemas: Trinoma, Greenbelt 3, Alabang Town Center and Fairview Terraces.
