Actress-content creator Hershey Neri shared her experience auditioning for a Cinemalaya film ahead of this year’s independent film festival. “‘Hindi naman ako matatanggap sa Cinemalaya,’ sabi ko nun sa boyfriend ko,” she wrote in a social media post. Kaya maya’t maya, humirit ulit ako — ‘Pero… puwede naman akong mag-try, diba?'” She added that it has been a “dream” of hers to be part of a Cinemalaya film. Pero minsan, ang kailangan lang pala natin sabihin sa sarili natin ay… ‘Puwede naman akong mag-try.’
