Actor John Prats is taking a long break from acting as he concentrates on his new found love: directing. Celebrating his 30th year in show business this year, John reveals he has found his purpose as a concert director.
“Hindi ibig sabihin namimiss ko ang acting. I’m super happy sa ginagawa ko ngayon. Feeling ko parang mas may purpose ako ngayon bilang direktor kesa artista. Mas nae-enjoy ko talaga siyang gawin. Yung mindset ko talaga now is focused sa mga projects na naka-lineup sa directing. Andun yung utak ko sa path na yun. Pero if there’s a good project na acting talaga, siguro naman tatanggapin ko. Pero wala naman magandang offer.
Asked if he has formal training as a director, the actor-director admits he just learned the craft from his directors in movies and TV series. “Ngayon as a director, yung ang binabawi ko sa mga artist ko. Ano yung gusto mo? Ano yung dream concert mo? Ano yung nabi-visualize mo? Yun ang naging purpose ko ngayon kasi yun ang naging frustration ko noon,” John says.“Sobrang sarap to the point na it’s very addictive. Mula sa tissue paper ido-drawing ko yung concept kasi yun lang minsan ang available sa meeting. Tapos makikita mo na lang nasa Araneta Coliseum na ang show. Kung alam lang ng mga tao saan ko na-drawing ang stage na ito.
“Sabi ko sa isa, punuin mo na lang ng ilaw. Bulagin mo yung mga tao ng ilaw. Binomba ng binomba niya ng ilaw para hindi talaga mapansin yung mga LED. After that hindi talaga ako nakatulog for three days. I was so depressed. “It’s really impossible with Justin Timberlake but I believe walang imposible. Yung Jessi nga eh parang imposible na makinig sa’yo ang isang Korean artist. So pwede pa rin palang mangarap ako. Sa local, Regine Velasquez, Sarah Geronimo and Sir Gary Valenciano. Maybe I can collaborate with Direk Paolo also.
“Wala na akong mahihiling pa. Siguro healthy family. Siguro kuntento lang ako sa nangyayari sa akin ngayon. I’m really at this stage na kuntento ako with my work, so happy with my family, with my kids. I have found my purpose in showbiz. You know when my daughter would ask me, what’s your job, papa? Sabi ko I’m a direktor. Sabi niya anong ginagawa ng direktor? So inexplain ko a bahay. Hindi pa naman maintindihan ng six-years-old yun di ba? Hanggang sinama siya sa first concert niya.
