The Bit Player

In "Ekstra," a drama-comedy film released in 2013, we follow Loida Malabanan, a bit player on a soap opera, as she navigates the ups and downs of her seemingly mundane day on set. But as the shoot progresses, we uncover the harsh truth behind the glamour of the production, exposing the exploitation of marginalized workers like Loida. With a star-studded cast, including Vilma Santos, Fatima Centeno, and Marlon Rivera, this film offers a unique glimpse into the shadowy underbelly of the entertainment industry. Will Loida find her place in the spotlight, or will she remain a mere extra?
