Action-drama royalty Gerald Anderson steps into a new role off-camera as he makes his directorial debut in the latest season of Sins of the Father—currently the No. 1 most-watched series on iWant.
Grateful yet admittedly pressured, Gerald shared how the experience pushed him outside his comfort zone while reminding him of the unwavering support of the team behind him.
“I was nervous at first, but they really made me feel at ease. The support I get from JRB, Direk FM Reyes, Bjoy, the management, especially Tita Cory and Direk Lauren—it’s so genuine, you can really feel it. In my 19 years, this is the first show where I didn’t have any doubts, because I know I’ve got people backing me up,” he reflected.
His big break as a director came when JRB Creative Productions offered him the chance to helm an upcoming episode featuring one of the season’s most intense sequences—Samuel (his character) facing off against 100 men to infiltrate Roldan’s (Joko Diaz) group.
“We had this improv meeting with JRB, and they mentioned there’s a one-versus-one-hundred scene. So I pitched a few storyline ideas to make it even better, and then they go, ‘Why don’t you direct it?’ I was like, ‘Sure!’—but honestly, I was so surprised,” Gerald candidly shared.
The series’ producers praised his work ethic and precision:
“Gerald is such a hardworking director. He knows exactly what shots he wants, works with precision, and comes in fully prepared. His preparation was so extensive that everything ran quickly and smoothly. He’s truly earned all of our respect and admiration.”
Joining Gerald in this adrenaline-charged season are Barbie Imperial, Binsoy Namoca, Dylan Yturralde, Eric Fructuoso, Joel Saracho, Junjun Quintana, Kolette Madelo, Lei Ang, Manuel Chua, Mel Martinez, Melissa Mendez, Reign Parani, Simon Ibarra, Zeppi Borromeo, and River Joseph.
Catch Sins of the Father weeknights at 9:30 PM on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, A2Z, TV5, iWant, and TFC.
