Vince Rillon is having some breakout moments this pandemic. After appearing in a string of Vivamax features like Siklo and Sisid, the indie star turned mainstream actor is headlining L, an erotic three-part movie series written and produced by award-winning director Jon Red.
Streaming on February 27, L is a trilogy featuring short films from directors Topel Lee, EJ Salcedo, and Roman Perez, Jr.. It also stars Cara Gonzales, Ayanna Misola, Cloe Barreto, and Stephanie Raz.
“I feel fortunate that Viva entrusted me this project,” Vince said during the movie series’ virtual junket held early this month.
“I cannot be thankful enough for this opportunity to showcase my talent,” the young actor added.
In the story, Vince plays a young freelance artist named Lucas who tries to overcome loneliness after his girlfriend Lana (Stephanie Raz), suddenly left him. A strange turn of events leads Lucas to meet three different girls who will drive his lust over the edge.
In Episode 1 entitled “Larawan” (directed by Topel Lee), Lucas finds a stunningly beautiful girl at an art gallery in Batangas. She introduces herself as Louise (Misola), and after getting a few drinks, they end up at her apartment. After passionate sex, Lucas discovers something about Louise that would surprise him.
Meanwhile, in Episode 2 “Liko” (helmed by EJ Salcedo), Lucas started a habit of driving around the streets of Manila. One night on his drive, he picks up Liza (Cloe Barreto), an attractive woman whom he thought was a prostitute. They talk and then check in at a motel. Before parting ways, Lucas attempts to pay for Liza’s services but she refuses to accept the money, telling Lucas she is not a prostitute, but just a poor and lonely housewife. This excites Lucas all the more, and he meets with her a few more times.
Lastly, for Episode 3 titled “Lipat” (by Roman Perez), a beautiful, mysterious woman named Lucy (Cara Gonzales) starts inquiring about an apartment with Lucas. They start telling personal stories to each other where Lucy admits that she has been unfaithful with her husband. The next day, Lucas goes back to the apartment to look for Lucy, but the caretaker says that the only Lucy the caretaker knows is the former tenant of the apartment who has been gone for so many years.
“Doing this project was really a challenge. It’s my first time to work with three different directors,” Vince admitted.
“Each director has a different style. And it’s interesting how they took care of the character and made him very consistent throughout the entire trilogy,” he carried on.
Every Sunday, starting February 27, viewers will get to experience L streaming on Vivamax.
