MANILA, Nov. 24 (PNA)-– The top movie cable channel Cinema One continues its 15th Year Anniversary Grand Celebration with the showing of Cinema One Originals' Best Film Winner for 2009 “Wanted: "Boarder” which will screen at the “IndieSine” (independent film) of the Robinson’s Galleria along EDSA in Quezon City from November 25 to December 1.

Organizers said the mystery-drama-thriller is about a lonesome religious woman whose mystery has something to do with the disappearances of her borders.

Wanted: Boarder, written and directed by Ray Defante Gibraltar swept the top awards in this year’s 5th Cinema One Originals Digital Film Festival Awards at the Dolphy Theater of the ABS-CBN.

It won the Best Production Design for Alf Alacapa, Jeffrey Lazaro and Amanda Nava; Best Music for Malek Lopez and Erwin Romulo; Best Original Screenplay for Ray Gibraltar who also won the Best Director award.

Overwhelmed with the triumph of his movie, Gibraltar who thanked his wife, cast and crew simply ended his short thank you speech with “To God be the Glory! Thank you po!”

But it was Wanted: Border’ main star Rosanna Roces who made her own moment upon receiving the Best Actress Award for playing the silently sinister Mama Saleng in the movie.

The spunky actress told the audience it was great to win another award since "Seven years have passed before I finally got another award.""

Osang made another scene-stealing action, to the delight of several audience when she jumped on stage from her seat instead of walking on stage when Wanted:Boarder was proclaimed Best Film.

A mystery-drama about people looking for refuge which ironically became a nightmare, Wanted: Border also stars Kristoffer Rhys Grabato, Saunshine Teodoro, Marisol Alquizar and Raffy Tejada.

It centers around a religious fanatic named Mama Saleng who owns a boarding house and an eatery.
