Gil is the lead star of the MMFF 2024 entry “Strange Frequencies: Taiwan Killer Hospital,” which contains footage shot by himself and co-stars Jane De Leon, Alexa Miro, Rob Gomez and MJ Lastimosa.

Aside from the footage horror film, the actor was also the lead of the sexy comedy “I Am Not Big Bird,” which premiered on Valentine’s Day this year. According to Gil, this is “just the beginning” of him expanding his filmography not only as an actor but also as a producer through his production outfit, Immerse Entertainment.

“This is just the beginning. I was able to produce ‘I Am Not Big Bird’ which is a comedy. I always wanted to do comedy, slapstick comedy,” he said. “And then now, I was able to produce a meta-style of horror. I still want to produce a traditional style of horror in the future. I have a concept as well for an action horror.”

Departure from love teams?

But does this mean Gil is saying goodbye to love teams for good? While he said that restarting his entertainment career as a solo actor and producer is “part of actor,” he clarified that he’s not closing his doors to it for good.

“I’m not saying goodbye. I’m not closing my doors. In the meantime, because I’ve been doing it all my life. There’s a time and place for everything,” he said. “This time, I really want to focus on different genres I’ve never done before. Para when I get old, masasabi ko na (I can say) at least, I was able to do everything.”

As the actor is set to welcome the New Year, he shared that he’s “just having fun” with his career, as it involves him “playing around with different concepts.”

“For now, I’m just enjoying, and playing around with different concepts and characters. I’m just having fun,” he said. “I’m looking forward to more concepts, more comedies, and of course, I want to do some dramas in the future.”
