Teen star Jhassy Busran emerges as lead star in ‘Unspoken Letters’

Teen actress Jhassy Busran, who has a number of awards to be proud of, sees her dream come true as she takes on the role of Felipa, a teenage girl with an intellectual disorder, in the upcoming family movie ‘Unspoken Letters’ by Utmost Creatives.

During her solo press conference, she confidently faced dozens of questions from the press with regards to her personal life, career, goals, and her experience in ‘Unspoken Letters.’

For Jhassy, the screening of the movie on December 13 serves as a fitting Christmas present for her fans and the Filipino audience, despite ‘Unspoken Letters’ not being selected as one of the official entries to the Metro Manila Film Festival 2023.

Jhassy shared her memorable experience while working on the film. She recounted, “Meron ditong eksena na masasampal ako ni Ms. Gladys [Reyes]… Yon siguro yung pinaka-memorable, hindi siya challenging. Sobrang saya masampal ng isang Gladys Reyes.”

“Namanhid po, nagulat ako. Kahit alam n’yo na gano’n yung eksena, magugulat ka pa rin. Nangibabaw sa akin yung [pagiging] proud sa sarili ko na nasapal ako ng isang Gladys Reyes,” she added.

#UnspokenLetters is a family drama movie features seasoned actors such as Tonton Guttierrez, Gladys Reyes, Simon Ibarra, Glydel Mercado, and Matet De Leon. It also stars Christine Samson, Markus Joseph Manuel, and many more.

Jhassy also shared her interpretation of the movie title “Unspoken Letters.” She explained, “Nung nabasa ko yung script, doon ko na-realize na kaya ‘Unspoken Letters,’ kasi merong mga bagay tayong kinikimkim lang natin sa sarili na hindi natin sinasabi sa pamilya, kaya nagkakaroon ng galit… Hindi nila nasasabi yung tunay nilang nararamdaman.”
