NELIA, one of the official entry in this year's Metro Manila Film Festival is 15 years in the making and judging with the trailer and the story, it is really worth the wait.
Nelia is written by Atty. Nelanie Honey Quiño Marquez. According to Atty. Honey, she wrote this film when she was still in college and she didn't even imagine that her concept will eventually come to the big screen 15 years after and also became part of the Metro Manila Film Festival.
"We never thought that our first full length film would make it as one of the finalists of the MMFF. We are deeply grateful to the MMFF for this opportunity and hopefully this will just be the beginning of A and Q Films Production's continuous creation of more films that could provide comfort, joy, and lessons to Filipino viewers," said Atty. Alegre.

It was one of her dream roles and finally, this is her shinning moment. She added that Nelia offers a unique concept which is why she didn't pass up the opportunity to do it.
