DM Sevilla plays Nathan, The Photographer in Alimuom Ng Kahapon (Shadows of Yesterday)


     DM Sevilla is Nathan. Nathan grew up with all the niceties in life. He is literally living a very comfortable life because he gets everything that he wants. He is single and good-looking. He has a good education, a house, a car, and a glamorous job. Nathan is a lifestyle photographer, capturing moments of the rich and famous, the bourgeois life. He is a perfect catch. However, things changed when he was assigned to relieve for a co-worker to follow people in the streets, people in the rallies. It was a sudden change of heart, but all because his heart was captured by the subject he aimed to capture. It is going to be a roller coaster ride when one is in the dilemma in giving up everything for the man he chose to love.

Love at first sight
     DM Sevilla, in his first lead role, is playing the role of Nathan. After being offered the role and reading the script of Alimuom ng Kahapon, DM got excited and has been actively taking part from the beginning of the project as the Casting Director. This is DM's most challenging and daring act so far. DM hopes to have given justice for the LGBT communities among the upper class of society who may relate with the role.

Alimuom ng Kahapon is a film about relationships that develop amidst contrasting ideals and principles. It is set in Manila when the country is embattled by scams involving pork barrels. Just like Alimuom, there could be unwanted secrets that get released in the open.

     The film stars Star Circle Quest 2004 alumnus DM Sevilla who plays the role of Nathan, a lifestyle photographer who was sent as a reliever to cover a rally for the newspaper he is working for. His attention was caught by Emman, a student activist, who was rallying against tuition fee increase. Emman is played by the 2006 Golden Screen Awards Breakthrough Performance by an Actor, Angelo Ilagan.
