Biography
Dominic Zapata is a Filipino television and film director. His most noted work is My Husband's Lover, nominated for Best Telenovela at the 2014 International Emmy Awards in New York City. The same project also got him a nomination nod for Best Director at the Asian TV Awards in Singapore that same year. Zapata first became known for directing large-scale soaps, namely Mars Ravelo's Darna (both versions, first with Angel Locsin and the updated Marian Rivera starrer) and Captain Barbell. He made local adaptations of international titles such as Kim Samsoon (Korea), Descendants of the Sun (Korea), La Lola (Argentina), Zaido (Japan), and Zorro (US). His Filipino versions of the Korean dramas Temptation of Wife and My Beloved were aired in 2012. Then came the commercial and critical success of My Husband's Lover. In 2005, he won the Metro Manila Film Festival People's Choice Award for Best Director for his work on Mulawin: The Movie. He was nominated at the 2014 Asian Television Awards in the Best Direction category, nominated at the 9th Seoul International Drama Awards, and also nominated for an International Emmy Award under the Telenovela category, given by the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.
