Another feather has been added to his already-decorated cap as Direk Romm Burlat was adjudged Best Director in the 1st Christian Film Festival at the Awards Night held in the QCXPerience Theater in Quezon City last night.
Burlat was nominated Best Director in his three films with other 10 contending directors. He won for the movie, Bata Bata Bakit Ka Ginawa. It is his 2nd recognition for this movie after being awarded special recognition for directing in the 6th Inding Indie Film Festival last year. His winning last night give him a total of 8 Best Director awards to date.
Bata Bata Bakit Ka Ginawa is a story of an imperfectly perfect family and a perfectly imperfect family which has two common denominators. The two protagonists of the movie are Erika (portrayed by Fiona Yang) and Maybelle (played by Clarissa Milne) who were best friends in high school. They have a secret only the two of them knew. But when their paths crossed again, an untoward incident happened but it was a blessing in disguise which led to forgiveness, renewed friendship and love of their families.
Other winners last night for Bata Bata Bakit Ka Ginawa are Fiona Yang who won Best Actress; Clarissa Milne for Best Supporting Actress, Best Cinematography for Jasper Ello and 2nd Best Christian Story.
As of this writing, Burlat is doing three films: Venus In My Mind which is about women empowerment; Ban-Uk, a Visayan horror movie and And I Loved Her, a romantic comedy which starts shooting on the 7th of March in Claveria, Cagayan Valley.
