The digital film Thelma starring Maja Salvador and directed by Paul Soriano won the Bronze Palm Award at the 2012 Mexico International Film Festival for excellent and outstanding film-making.
This is another feather on the cap of director Paul Soriano and actress Maja Salvador as Thelma continue to reap awards in and outside the country.
Last month, Thelma also bagged awards at the 2012 Star Awards for Movies including Digital Film of the Year, Best Director and Best Screenplay (click here for complete list of winners).
Thelma has also been a favorite of international film festivals. Prior to the 2012 Mexico International Filmfest, the said movie has been invited at the Cinequest Film Festival in San Jose, California and the 36th Cleveland International Film Festival.
Late last year, Thelma was also invited at the 31st Hawaii International Film Festival, the sister festival of Shanghai International Film Festival and an official partner with Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), the organization behind the acclaimed OSCAR Awards.
The movie was under Time Horizon and distributed by Star Cinema.
