Miguel Odron gets feature performance award nomination


Filipino actor Miguel Odron gets a feature performance award nomination from the Iris Prize Festival for portrayal of Zion, in Petersen Vargas' Some Nights I Feel Like Walking.
Odron's reaction to the nomination: "It's so cliche but Im just super happy to even be recognized at all. Some Nights is my first film, its crazy to be competing alongside such big names. I didnt know anything before I stepped on set. I had to learn everything so fast. So this is really encouraging as a new actor and really such a lovely surprise! I just hope I get to make more and more films!"
He added:" Direk Petersen really challenged us to dig deep and find the truth of the characters for ourselves. I tended to want to be spoonfed, but he really pushed me to think and to have trust in my choices and to justify them. The confidence I gained from that is something I’ll carry with me forever!*
