Heard: Frustrated soldier

Richard Gutierrez on his childhood dream of joining the US military: “My parents didn’t allow me. Now, I dream of portraying any kind of military role, as long as I’m telling their story. I’d like to learn as much as I can about our soldiers in Mindanao. I sat down with some Navy men while making ‘Love and Lies’ and heard a lot of stories—some funny, some frightening. It would be nice to share them with audiences.” Marinel R. Cruz
