BALIK-GENRE film ang Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) best actress (para sa Deleter) na si Nadine Lustre sa Nokturno, maiden offering ng Evolve Studios ni Direk Mikhail Red at ng Viva Films.

Sa launching ng partnership deal, sinabi nina Valerie del Rosario, SVP for Content Creation and Development ng Viva, at Direk Mikhail na maraming exciting movies na dapat abangan ang publiko sa pagsasanib-pwersang ito.

“Viva knows great talent when it sees one and with our partnership with Direk Mikhail Red, we hope to future-proof our content offerings across genres and over different platforms,” ani Valerie.

Dahil sa malaking tagumpay ng Deleter, si Nadine muli ang napisil nilang magbida sa Nokturno, isang proyekto tungkol sa primal at supernatural curse sa isang rural Filipino family at ang anak na nilisan ang pamilya para manirahan abroad.

Bukod sa Nokturno, ikinakasa na rin ang ikalawa nilang handog, ang Helel, na sabi nga ni Direk Mikhail ay isang sci-fi spiritual horror film tungkol sa isang Pinay astronaut na makakaengkwentro ang demonyo.

“We want audiences to associate our Studio with quality genre films that strive to both entertain and engage. We want to foster genre talent and collaborate with new and established artists and voices, to reinvigorate the industry and help diversify film output for the average Filipino audience.

“We want to eventually go global with our brand, creating Filipino genre work that we can proudly share with international audiences through partnerships and co-productions with big streamers and satisy their growing demand for foreign language content. We also want to make sure our film slate is sustainable, being strategic and efficient with our productions so that every success creates a chain reaction to finance more films,” sabi ni Direk Mikhail.
