Will Direk Romm Burlat get his 8th Best Director recognition in tonight's Christian Film Festival Awards?






There is no stopping for the hardworking multi-awarded director Romm Burlat. Almost every film festival, his name is on the list of Best Director nominees and at times in the Best Actor nominees.

Just recently, he won Best Director in the 16th We Care International Film Festival  in New Delhi, India for the movie, "Ama Ka Ng Anak Mo". This paved the way to his inclusion as Film Ambassador 2020 as recognized by the Film Development Council of the Philippines.

Tonight, he is in for another race: for Best Director in the Christian Film Festival. It is triply amusing to note that Burlat earned three Best Actor nominations for his works in "Akay", "Bata Bata Bakit Ka Ginawa" and yes, "Ama Ka Ng Anak Mo", a first for a film director. The first two films were already recognized abroad and the the third one has already been fielded in international filmfests'

Will Burlat go up onstage again to claim his 8th Best Director Award? Which film among the three seems like more Christian to the judges?

It can be recalled that Direk Romm won Best Director in his first film, "Agaw Pansin" in the 4th Lutas Film Festival. He was also recognized as Most Outstanding Director in the Gawad Singing  Film Festival Awards. The other films where he won the Best Director awards are "Cuckoo", ""Balikuko (he won twice), "Ama Ka Ng Anak Mo"(2 wins) and "Sindi".

Good Luck Direk Romm! May God be with you!
