MANILA - Child star Ryzza Mae Dizon plays three different characters, including a mermaid, in the upcoming film "My Big Bossing," one of the eight entries in this year's Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF).
The two minute-trailer of the movie also shows Dizon, 9, as a girl haunted by ghosts inside a hospital and as a commoner-turned-princess adjusting to royal life.
Her co-star, veteran comedian Vic Sotto, earlier described "My Big Bossing" as a three-in-one offering, citing three different stories all starring him and Dizon. "Sirena" will feature Dizon as a mermaid named Dyesa, "Prinsesa" is a "Frozen"-inspired tale, while "Taktak" is a horror story with a kiddie twist.
According to Sotto, the "Sirena" episode was created upon the insistence of Dizon to fulfill her dream of portraying a mermaid. The addition of the two other stories, he added, was the result of conflicting ideas during brainstorming.
"Hindi kami magkasundo kung ano ang gagawin. Sabi ko, 'Gawin na lang natin lahat! Gawin nating one-third, one-third, one-third,'" he said in an October interview.
Dizon said she is happy to portray three different characters, but said she is especially excited to don a mermaid's tail for the role of Dyesa.
The episode "Sirena" was directed by Tony Reyes, "Taktak" by Marlon Rivera, and "Prinsesa" by Joyce Bernal. The movie also stars Marian Rivera, Nikki Gil, Manilyn Reynes, Pauleen Luna, Wally Bayola and Jose Manalo, among others.
"My Big Bossing" will compete against seven other movies in the main section of the MMFF -- "Feng Shui," "Shake, Rattle & Roll 14," "Kubot: The Aswang Chronicles 2," "Bonifacio," "English Only, Please," "Magnum Muslim .357," and "The Amazing Praybeyt Benjamin."
