“Under Parallel Skies,” which stars Janella Salvador and Thai actor Win Metawin, is the first Philippine cross-country film to have its world premiere as part of the Asian Film Awards in Hong Kong.
This was announced by film director Sigrid Bernardo through her Instagram page on Wednesday, Feb. 28.
“‘Under Parallel Skies’ becomes the first Philippine cross-country film to have its world premiere in Hong Kong as one of the special events of the prestigious 17th Asian Film Awards (AFA),” she said.
“The gala will happen on March 11 at APM in Kwun Tong. Following the gala, the film will have its Hong Kong premiere at the B+ cinema,” she added.
Aside from Bernardo, Salvador and Metawin, executive producers from production company 28 Squared Studios, members of the AFA committee, the film’s partners and select guests of honor will also be in attendance at the Hong Kong event.
Salvador also shared the announcement on her Instagram page, adding: “Hope you’re ready to meet Iris and Parin!”
“Under Parallel Skies,” which is set in Hong Kong, tells the story of a man struggling with a painful past and a woman who has a significant role in the story of his life.
Rumors of Salvador and Metawin, who gained a following in the Philippines after his hit boy love series “2gether: The Series,” joining together in a project first sparked in June 2023. The production company confirmed the project a month later.
