The said film tells the story of Dominic and Luke as they meet during a Catholic school retreat, where they deal with fate and faith as they formed a relationship.
“The Boy Foretold by the Stars,” which won 2nd best picture in the most recent MMFF, dubs itself as the first Filipino BL film as it started production even before last year’s pandemic-induced lockdown.
Aside from directing, Dulu also wrote the film, which was produced by actress Jodi Sta. Maria under Clever Minds Inc., The Dolly Collection and Brainstormers Lab. /ra
