“Bomba” is written and directed by Ralston Jover and the film garnered the Special Jury Award last Saturday for the performances of Allen and his co-star, teen star Angeli Nicole Sanoy at the A-lister 33rd Warsaw International Filmfest. Allen was present in Warsaw, Poland to personally receive his award, including producer Dennis Evangelista and the film’s writer-director Ralston Jover.
Allen played the role of a deaf-mute and he studied sign language to be credible in his role. Angeli plays a girl who people thought is his daughter but turns out to be his ward and they are actually illicit lovers. After this, Allen plays the role of a blind cook in “Persons of Interest”, also helmed by Jover. “Iikutin ko raw lahat ng disabilities sa various roles na gagampanan ko,” he quips.
