During her shoot with Speed, Bela showed that she is willing to goof around and try different poses—some unconventional—to get a great shot for the cover and feature. In life, she likes to try something offbeat from time to time and discover new things about herself. Thus, she currently finds herself dabbling in scriptwriting and film producing.

It probably helps that Bela is also passionate about film and music. Listen to her talk about her favorite movies, actors, and directors, and you’ll feel her true appreciation for the craft. Talk to her about her process of writing scripts and producing films, and you’ll find yourself itching to try them yourself. Ask her about the music she loves and you’ll get a long list of songs you can spend hours listening to.

Read on to discover more about the creative world and inspiring mind of Bela Padilla— actress, budding producer, screenwriter, and lover of music and film.

SPONTANEOUS CREATIVITY

Becoming an actress was never part of Bela’s plan—moreso a screenwriter or producer. She wanted to be a journalist. But, in her own words, life led her to where she is now. And while she likes to think about things she can do and how to achieve them, she never really liked planning and becoming fixated on a plan.

“I’m a pretty spontaneous person,” Bela quips.
