“It’s going to be a different Christmas for me, it’s busy but I am not complaining. I’m just thankful that the film I’m part of is another MMFF entry,” he said. 

Nelia stars Winwyn Marquez and directed by  Lester Dimaranan. The screenplay is written by one of its producers,  Melanie Honey Quiño.

“We are proud of this film. It’s the only suspense thriller in this year’s lineup so I believe that gives Nelia a bit of an edge,” said Roxas who plays a doctor in the story.
