Real-life lovers Will Devaughn and Roxanne Barcelo stars in a new movie called "I Found My Heart in Santa Fe."
At a bloggers conference held at the Victorino's Restaurant in Quezon City, the two together with their Director, Bona Fajardo, met with the bloggers to promote and discuss their movie shot entirely around Santa Fe, a town in Bantayan Island of Cebu.
Needless to say, there's going to be a lot of superb sceneries of the beach, plus the amazing bods of both Will and Roxanne.
Aside from promoting tourism, the movie is more than just the usual romcom because the cast and director revealed that the two are mostly not together as a couple, until only nearing the end. They also said that there could be a sequel since the story doesn't really end yet. The audience will surely anticipate a follow-up to the relationship.
Originally, the character of Will is actually looking for something or someone else (said to be his mother) but end up with the character of Roxanne who describes herself as "babaeng bakla" mainly because of her gay lingo dialouges and gestures.
Roxanne also sang the soundtrack of the movie with "Morning, Noon and Night Time" also being played frequently on the trailer. She also sang "Morena" that gives emphasis to being brown-skinned like the majority of Filipinas. Roxanne is just disappointed that many prefer to be of white complexion rather than proud of being "Morena." She said tgat most foreigners find Filipinas "exotic" for its rarity. She said Filipinos should embrace their natural colors instead of working their ass off to buy skin whitening products.
When asked if they feel they have the chemistry even on screen, the real-life sweethearts acting together will not have plenty of love scenes to confirm that since they are not together as a loving couple in the movie.
Will plays as Viktor, a German national working for an NGO, while Roxanne plays as Jennifer, a local in the island mending a broken heart, thus a reason why she keeps avoiding being intimate with Viktor who is attracted to Jennifer. But the two got closer during a tour at Kinatarcan Island where they had time learning about each other.
The movie is produced by BLUart Productions with executive producers Lyn Fajardo and Noy Aurelio.
Movie has a playdate of September 15 for Cine Lokal
