ALLEN DIZON doesn’t mind if he’s more identified with indie films. “Let’s face it, ang magagaling nating mga director, nasa indie films ngayon kasi mas true to life ang stories, mas socially relevant, mas makatotohanan and not the usual escapist romantic comedies offered by mainstream movies,” he says. “So I can say proud ako sa indie films. Kasi dito rin ako nanalo ng best actor and best supporting awards in films like ‘Dukot’, ‘Twilight Dancers’, ‘Lauriana’, at iba pa. Heto nga, itong dalawang bagong indie films na katatapos kong gawin, ‘Kamkam o Greed’ ni Direk Joel Lamangan at ‘Magkakabaung o Coffin Maker’ ni Direk Jason Paul Laxamana, pareho nang nakuha as entries in an international film festival in Canada. E, yung mga mainstream na pelikula, nakukuha ba diyan lately? Hindi naman, di ba? Puro indie films ang napaparangalan kasi sila ang mas tunay na sumasalamin sa buhay natin bilang mga Pilipino ngayon. Meron pa kong bagong movie sa Cinemalaya, ‘Children’s Show’, na kaabang-abang din.”
In “Kamkam”, which opens in theatres on July 9, he returns to doing sexy scenes which he has shunned before. As a thug with three wives, he has a nude love scene complete with butt exposure in his bed scene with Jackie Rice. He also appears scantily clad in scenes with Jean Garcia and Sunshine Dizon. In real life, he’s married and has kids of his own. Doesn’t his wife get jealous when she sees him in such provocative love scenes?
“Naku, sanay na siya diyan. I agreed to do such scenes again kasi magaling namang director si Direk Joel. I trust na hindi basta kalaswaan lang yung ipapakita namin kundi may kinalaman talaga sa story. And when the film was previewed by the press, nagandahan naman sila. At yun na nga, naka-A sa Cinema Evaluation Board ang ‘Kamkam’ at uncut naman lahat ng sexy scenes sa MTRCB, so mapapanood yun ng viewers ng intact, pati sa premiere night namin on July 6, 8 PM, sa SM North Edsa The Block.”
