Actress Jodi Sta. Maria decided to veer away from her comfort zone to play the role of a prostitute and in the process discovered more acting freedom doing an indie film.
Sta. Maria together with director Adolf Alix recently graced the prestigious Pusan International Film Festival in South Korea for the screening of the indie film “Chassis.”
“Chassis” tells the story of Nora (played by Sta. Maria), a homeless woman who was forced by circumstances into prostitution to earn a living for her daughter.
Her excellent performance earned a positive review from Variety, a highly-regarded American weekly entertainment-trade magazine.
