QUINN CARILLO used to be a member of the girl group Bella Donnas then she forayed into acting playing supporting roles in Vivamax sexy flicks like “Silab”, “Eva” and “Shoot Shoot Di Kita Titigilan”.
She now plays a lead role in Director Joel Lamangan’s new drama, “Biyak”.
“I had fun playing my character, si Samantha, kasi ibang-iba siya sa mga nagawa ko na before,” she says.
“I play a former drug user na naging drug informer and asset for the cops. Binago ako ni direk, pati ang hitsura ko, ang hairstyle ko na iba-iba bawat eksena.
"Ang laking bagay that I get directed by Direk Joel kasi ang dami kong natutuhan sa kanya. Nag-action pa ako rito sa raid scene na ang hirap tumakbo kasi naka-high heels ako.”
She also goes daring in “Biyak” with her leading man, Albie Casino.
“Before, mas comedy ang role ko like in ‘Silab’ na I was the kikay na maid. So I’m new to daring scenes.
"Ready naman ako, pero may ipinagawa sa’kin si direk na nabigla ako. I can’t say in detail kung ano, basta it’s very intense and challenging ang love scene na yun.
"But I have to do it and so I just gave it my best.”
So will this be the start of her doing more sexy flicks?
“I can’t say kung tuloy-tuloy na ako sa sexy roles. Basta I will do intimate scenes kung needed talaga siya sa character that I’ll portay, essential siya sa movie at kung malaki ang tiwala ko sa director.
"Hindi rin kasi ako that comfortable with my body so I hope the director, iingatan rin niya ang shots ko.”
But she hopes viewers won’t just dwell on the sexy scenes.
“Sana they will watch the film as a whole and not just focus on the sexy scenes, so they can fully appreciate the story.
"As an actress, I want to try more demanding roles than just sexy ones. What I’d really like to are do contravida roles na maiinis sa akin ang tao.
"O yung sobrang mahirap i-portray yung character na it will really challenge me. I just want to work and work.”
She has also started a new chapter in her showbiz career as she was the one who wrote the original story of “Biyak” then collaborated on the script with Troy Espiritu.
“Actually, she shows promise as a writer,” says Direk Joel.
And after “Biyak”, Quinn has also written the script for another movie, “Tahan”, starring her friend Cloe Baretto, directed by Louie Ignacio.
