The fearless women of ‘Lampas Langit’

Jeffrey Hidalgo had spent several years marketing his psychological thriller Lampas Langit for production. Lucky for him, Vivamax saw the potential for his film and invested in its creation. Hidalgo can’t be happier about his dream finally coming to reality.

Apart from a compelling story that spirals around numerous twists and turns, the movie also features known actors such as Baron Geisler and Ricky Davao. Yet, the most gripping performance comes from the three female characters played by Chloe Jenna, Christine Bermas, and Milana Ikemoto. 

The film was mentally, emotionally, and physically demanding, especially with the story’s progress and intense sexy scenes peppered throughout the movie. 

Hidalgo couldn’t ask for a better cast than the three actresses as they gave him the performance he wanted and realized his vision. 

In the film, Chloe plays Baron’s wife, Mylene. Their scenes are intense because they don’t have a stable relationship, especially with Jake (Baron) cheating on her with Belle (Christine). Chloe didn’t let the scenes stop her from giving it her all.

Before filming the sexy scenes, Hidalgo would first instruct his actresses on what to do and ensure they were comfortable with the circumstances. He commended Chloe, however, for being game at whatever he threw at her. 

There was one instance during shooting, Hidalgo recalls, when Chloe was so eager to shoot the scene that she was already removing her robe so she could efficiently execute the director’s instructions. Chloe’s character is bipolar, a far cry from her real personality. 

Chloe has a theater background, which helped her act professionally and effectively despite being her first time working for Vivamax. 

Other than preparing for her role mentally and emotionally, Chloe also keeps herself fresh before doing scenes with her co-stars as common courtesy. 

Meanwhile, Christine found the movie more challenging than when she did Scorpio Nights 3, which earned a lot of attention for its daring scenes.

She sees it as an acting piece because the story is about manipulation. She describes her character as a “scheming manipulator with her designs on the other characters.” 

Christine stars alongside veteran actor Ricky, who gave her sound acting advice and treated her like a daughter. 

Yet another challenge for Christine was doing an intimate scene with Chloe and Milana because she didn’t feel comfortable doing it with members of the same sex. According to her, they remind her of her female relatives, making it an awkward experience. 

Although it was Christine’s first time doing such a scene, she found comfort in the fact that it was her co-stars’ first time as well. With Hidalgo’s guidance, she learned to conquer the uneasiness and do the scene. 

Milana, who played Ginny in the movie, shared that despite having only a short screen time, she found inspiration from her character. She admires Ginny’s openness as a person and hopes she can channel that energy when suitable opportunities come her way.

The movie will take viewers on a journey as they discover the truth about themselves in a variety of plot twists that add to the story’s charm. 

Lampas Langit premiered last August 19 and is now available exclusively to stream on Vivamax.
