Elijah Canlas, known for his role in the online series Gameboys, won the Best Actor award at the recently concluded 17th Asian Film Festival held in Rome, Italy, for his role in the movie Kalel, 15.
The news was announced by The Idea First Company, who produced the movie. Jun Robles Lana, who directed the movie, congratulated Elijah for the achievement.
“The great thing about Elijah is that he’s a chameleon. When he takes on a role, he becomes the character, and you can’t imagine it being played by anyone else. He’s a gifted storyteller and he really works so hard at it. Congraaats, @elijahcanlas_!” Lana said.
Canlas thanked Lana for guiding him in the movie.
“This means the world to me. Thanks, direk! For trusting me and squeezing the best out of me. I promise to always work hard. Just like what tito Eddie told me. No doubt. Congrats din po!” he said, referring to the late Eddie Garcia, who starred in the film.
Kalel, 15, which stars Canlas, Garcia, and Jaclyn Jose, tells the story of a young boy who is faced with various problems, from being HIV positive, growing up with a troubled parent, to the carelessness of teens when it comes to sex.
The achievement is the latest in Canlas’ career. He is currently seen in the BL show Gameboys, whose last 3 episodes have been delayed after Metro Manila was once again placed under modified enhanced community quarantine. – Rappler.com
