REEL DEAL Movies and Television: Thelma

"Some people run away from their problems, she ran to fix them"

THELMA is the first film under Time Horizon, in cooperation with Abracadabra and Underground Logic. Directed by Paul Soriano. What is unique about this movie is it not the usual drama films since it focuses more on the sport of running. It is inspired by true stories and could be closes to the biography of Elma Muros, who also has a cameo on the film. 

Starring Maja Salvador as Thelma, she goes through a series of situations that affects her family and also her career.  The film also stars Techie Agbayani as Floring, Thelma's mother. John Arcilla as Ado, her father.  Eliza Pineda as Hannah, her younger sister.Jason Abalos as Sammy, who is her love interest in the film.

This is the second film director Paul Soriano got into and is proud of its outcome. The reception of the film also made waves for it to be shown in Hawaii International Film Festival. Maja also is proud to be one of the producers for this film for the first time as she said that she loves the film and own it as her own. The film quality is also has an edge above the other local films as it has great panoramic and landscape shots that also adds the feel of the terrain Thelma runs on her way to her dreams.
