Thel-ma: a name of Greek origin which means “will” or “volition”.
Maja Salvador trains under athlete Elma Muros, Asia’s fastest woman and track and field champion, for her upcoming Indie Film “Thelma.” Produced and directed by Paul Soriano, “Thelma” is a story of dreams and determination of a young athlete.
In this film, Thelma takes running in the fields of her hometown Ilocos Norte to relieve her from pain and problems. Disaster strikes when her younger sister is run over by a speeding car that crippled her for life. The only hope for her to recover is an expensive operation which they cannot afford.
Life has been harsh to Thelma since then until she joins a road race and wins. Her skills set her to journey to Manila where she faces new challenges that almost make her decide whether to go back home or to pursue the distance.
The story not only centers on a young girl’s passion for running but also around her relationships and trials. Runners and non-runners alike will be able to relate to thefilm especially at everyone’s growing interest in running and fitness as well as the popularity of marathon running these days.
Maja Salvador is supported by a talented cast: Techie Agbayani, John Arcilla, Eliza Pineda, and Jason Abalos. The movie features stunning cinematography by the award-winning Director of Photography, Odyssey Flores. Shot with the latest in camera technology– the ARRI Alexa–Official Trailer:
