Hindi naman siya difficult pero kinabahan ako dun sa scene na ‘yun,” Salvador said.</p><p>&quot;Open Endings,&quot; one of the entries in Cinemalaya 2025 Film Festival, is directed by Nigel Santos and written by Keavy Vicente.</p><p>Joining her in the film are Klea Pineda, Jasmine Curtis-Smith, and Leanne Mamonong, who also shared their favorite scenes from the movie.</p><p>Pineda hinted that the film allowed her to reveal a different side of herself, sharing that she had a blast shooting every scene.</p><p>Smith, on the other hand, singled out her most challenging scene with Mamonong — one she’s especially proud to have pulled off.</p><p>“I’m not gonna spoil, I’m not gonna say what it is, pero ang lalim lang talaga ng pinuntahan ng puso at isip namin pareho for that scene na ‘hooohh!’ na-pull off namin sya, and I’m very proud of it,” said Curtis-Smith.</p><p>For Mamonong, a heated confrontation stood out as her favorite scene — and also the most challenging, since it required raw emotion and heartfelt honesty.</p><p>&quot;Open Endings&quot; is about four queer women, who are exes turned best friends. It is showing in cinemas, along with other Cinemalaya entries, until October 12.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>RELATED VIDEOS:</strong></div><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UwNREG47xmw?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yuSmw7CHMcY?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7apWCqkYMZo?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div>
