When you're tired and hungry from work or have an online shopping order coming from Timbuktu, you only have one man for the job, the DELIVERY RIDER. This is the same title of a new action drama movie starring Baron Geisler, Euwenn Mikaell and Jake Cuenca. They held a press conference for it a few days ago in Dean and Deluca in Quezon City so we had the pleasure of talking with the cast and its director Lester Pimentel Ong. For those who don't know, he's the same guy who did hit series Incognito. This just means we're going to have a lot of expectations which I'm quite sure he'll deliver because he's that good.
Baron plays a man in the autism spectrum, brought up and trained with martial arts, whilst having innate fighting skills. He also wishes for independence and inclusion just like those in his condition, in hopes to stay away from usual stereotypes. He says "This is sort of a gift for those who are under the spectrum, made meticulously for their parents and those who love them. Santo is certainly mad at the world he lives in but always seem to be kind. This is his strength and you'll see that in every delivery he does in the film."
Playing the role of his son is Euwenn Mikaell, who's had a fruitful 2023 when he won Best Child Actor at MMFF. Jake Cuenca on the other hand will play a gang leader's son. He says "I immediately said yes to this project because it was an opportunity to work with a talented actor Baron and one of my favorite directors Direk Lester. When we finished filming, we had a sense of respect with each other's work especially since we had a ringside experience where we spent most of the day talking with each other."
