MANILA, Philippines — In the shadow of big sister no more.
Jasmine Curtis-Smith admits she dreams of starring in a movie with big sister Anne Curtis, almost five years after she entered show business.
“One day I would love to kasi nakatrabaho ko pa lang siya sa commercial pero different naman ‘yun. I’m sure for something that’s longer like a film, and we never really acted together per se," she said in an interview with Pilipino Star Ngayon.
The TV5 star added: "It will really be interesting to see what her method is and what her approach is when it comes to film making.”
Jasmine hopes to do a "family-centered movie" that would "focus on the relationship of sisters" with the ABS-CBN star.

The 21-year-old actress was often compared to her sister, the showbiz veteran Anne, when she entered the entertainment industry as a TV5 contract star in 2010.
But the young actress proved she can set a path apart from Anne in showbiz by starring in independent films (including 2013's "Transit" and 2014's "Dementia") and stage plays (she did monologue series "No Filter" earlier this year).
In a previous interview, Jasmine described herself as "indie" in contrast to Anne's more "mainstream" image.
The two have worked together for endorsements. However, they have yet to do a movie to TV project together.

“What my sister taught me is that when you do your job, you have to give your whole self into that and your whole heart," Jasmine said of her sister. "Kasi do’n mo malalaman kung ano ‘yung strength and weaknesses mo and what you can work on, to what you can show and cater from your own skills, to what’s need to be done for your projects.” — Chuck Smith
