Lilinda Camaisa To Receive The Rising Star Award From Star Blazers And TOP HAT  Image

Up and coming actress, producer, and screenwriter Lilinda Camaisa's star is on the rise. Lilinda is set to receive the Star Blazers and TOP HAT's award this year as "The Rising Star award" at the Giving Back and Beyond Gala on December 8. The award is for promising new talent who are poised as performers to watch. Aside of acting, Lilinda also gives back by volunteering with various charitable programs across the country.

Camaisa states, "I'm very excited about the new changes that are taking in place in Hollywood. As a producer I'm constantly looking for projects that help to showcase women in a different light, not only in front of the camera, but behind the scenes as well."

TOP HAT alumni include Lea Salonga, Tony award winning actress known for her roles in "Miss Saigon" and "Les Miserables" on Broadway, Mayor Kevin Faulconer, Emmy Award winning journalist Denise Yamada, San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan, to name only a few. Past honorees include California Senator Dianne Feinstein, Philippine Senator Leila De Lima, Rear Admiral USN (Ret), Dr. Connie Mariano (the White House Doctor), and Vice Admiral Raquel C. Bono.

Camaisa made her feature film acting debut in the indie pic "The Samuel Project," which is currently in select theaters nationwide. Camaisa plays a supporting role as Dr. Jamir alongside leading men Hal Linden and Ryan Ochoa. The film was directed by Marc Fusco and written by Fusco and Chris Neighbors. The pic centers on a teen (Ochoa) who, through a school art project, gets to know his grandfather Samuel (Linden), and discovers that he was rescued from Nazi capture as a young boy.
