Bela Padilla — actress, writer and new director

Bela Padilla is by all means a quintessential creative force. Not only does she act in front of the camera — playing leads in comedy, romantic drama and heavy drama genres — but she also notably branched out to scriptwriting. And as if these achievements aren’t enough, Padilla is set to add another skill to her name as she embarks on film directing this year.

The actress/writer/director is currently in post-production of her directorial debut, ‘366,’ and is humbled to be part of this year’s panel of judges for Nespresso Talents short film competition. INSTAGRAM PHOTO/BELA
