Direktor Nuel Naval, hanga sa humble ways ni Aga Muhlach

The Philippine adaptation of Miracle in Cell No.7 is not the first movie wherein Aga Muhlach and director Nuel Naval worked together.

They already worked together in Aga’s movie under Star Cinema Kailangan Kita in the year 2002.

Nuel was then working as production designer of the project, that’s why Aga and him are already comfortable with each other.

Nuel described Aga as a “humble actor” because of his down-to-earth attitude while shooting the movie which is an official entry to the 45th Metro Manila Film Festival.

“Si Aga,” director Nuel said of his lead actor, “napaka-humble niya. As an actor, he’s very giving. Lagi niyang sinasabi sa co-actors, ‘Hindi ako ang bida rito. Tayong lahat ito.’

“I really appreciate that. Kasi as a director, parang dumadali ang trabaho mo.

“Sasabihin mo lang, i-i-explain mo lang kung saan iyong eksena, saan pupunta, saan galing. Iba-block mo lang and then, lahat sila gumagalaw na,” Nuel intoned.

Technically naman daw, he had the good fortune of working with the best director of photography, Anne Monzon.

One of the best production designers rin daw ang kasama niya sa pelikula, si Elfren Vibar.

Direktor na raw si Elfren pero for the sake of this movie, nag-work muli bilang production designer ng pelikula.

Siyempre pa, pinasalamatan ni Nuel ang Viva Films producer na si Boss Vic del Rosario dahil sa graciousness nitong ibigay lahat ng hiniling niya para sa shoot ng Miracle in Cell No. 7.

“Very gracious, ang bait ng Viva para ibigay sa akin ito. I was really elated na pinagbigyan ang lahat ng hiningi ko sa pelikulang ito at iyon ang makikita ninyo,” he asseverated.
