Watching Nour Hooshmand on screen feels like observing an actor who trusts her instincts completely. She relies on subtle shifts in posture, “mata-mata acting,” and grounded presence to carry emotional scenes.

The same grounded approach is on full display in the series Call My Manager, where Hooshmand plays Addy. Sharing scenes with Philippine screen icon Judy Ann Santos (who plays Ms. Andrea), Hooshmand delivers a solid performance that holds its ground without being overshadowed that the netizens greatly commended and appreciated.

Her turn in Call My Manager reflects a natural step forward for an actress who has been carefully laying down her foundation across independent cinema and mainstream television.

Hooshmand first caught the industry’s eye through projects such as Agapito and Blue Room, for which she earned a nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the 71st FAMAS Awards in 2023.

Playing Janine in the full length version of Filipiñana, a supporting character to the film revolved around the seeming disturbing hierarchy of a lavish country club. Hooshmand channeled her impeccable performance. The same project earned major international acclaim, winning the Silver Bear Jury Prize at the 70th Berlin International Film Festival, and is now back at its homeland for an extended local premiere.

Apart from her performances and mainstream roles that are now earning praises, Nour Hooshmand has a very distinct and profound filmography in her portfolio.

The actress and singer, best known for her work in indie cinema, has been in acclaimed films and series like Blue Room, Sleep with Me, Marahuyo Project, and The Kangks Show. She is also part of the ensemble for the 2026 Cinemalaya entry Tayo Lang Ang Nakakaalam. She will also play a role in an upcoming sapphic romance-body horror short film What The Living Do.

Now stepping into the chaotically complex world of Call My Manager, Hooshmand is now working and is ready to match the energy of experienced industry veterans. As Addy, she brings a natural responsiveness to her scene with Judy Ann Santos, making their character dynamic feel earned and believable.

Nour Hooshmand’s career run is a masterclass in organic, meteoric growth within modern Philippine cinema. Emerging from a collaborative background, she transitions from an intuitive scene-stealer in acclaimed indie projects. Seamlessly bridging the gap between underground arthouse cinema and mainstream prestige, she has anchored groundbreaking projects celebrated from Cinemalaya to Cannes… and even Sundance.

Hooshmand represents a fearless new vanguard of Filipino acting that is driven by raw emotional intelligence, cinematic versatility, and a distinct creative vision.
