JAKARTA - Prilly Latuconsina will attend the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in September. She departs as one of the cast in the film Budi Pekerti which will be shown there.

Prilly will attend the international film festival for the first time recognized it as an unforgettable experience. He was honored when he was trusted to play in a festival film.

"As I said, I didn't even expect this film to be offered," said Prilly Latuconsina when met at Epicentrum, South Jakarta on Friday, August 4.

"That's why, when I was offered by Kak Wregas (director) and the producer, I was like, 'I'm sure I want to offer me?' Yes, I'm really honored to get their trust," he continued.

Not without reason why Prilly is so happy to be able to play in films that are projected to be shown at international film festivals. He felt that not many producers and directors wanted him to play in festival films.

"You could say, there aren't many producers and directors who believe in me that I can dissect different characters from before," said Prilly Latuconsina.

Moreover, his acting career, which began as a soap opera star, was considered the cause. Prilly feels that the quality of her acting is still doubtful by many people.

"Maybe because of my stigma, I grew up from soap opera actors or I used to play romance characters, or just like that," said Prilly.

"So, not many directors and producers see me to invite me to play festival films, whose characters are different, the level of difficulty is also different," he continued.

Prilly is even more honored by the reason she was chosen to be involved in the film Budi Pekerti. He told how Wregas Bhanuteja, who also wrote a scenario, had imagined himself to play from the start.

"Sis Wregas said that when he wrote the script, when he played my character, he was inspired by a photo of me that he accidentally saw," said Prilly Latuconsina.

"So, Kak Wregas accidentally saw my photo at the prescon, then he said my eyes were what inspired him to write his character," he said.
