The new year is starting strong for premier talent management, Star Magic as it kicks off its 2023 by collaborating with game-changer film outfit, Mavx Productions.
The partnership, which is part of the agency’s grand yearlong 30th-anniversary celebration, will elevate artistry and self-discovery, healing, and hope through three films bannered by some of the finest Star Magic artists.
“We are both thrilled and honored about this collaboration with Mavx Productions’ knowing the productions’ growing reputation for creating heartwarming, scenic, and critically-acclaimed films in the business. We hope that the three films, I Love Lizzy, Unravel, and The Swing can spark inspiration, redemption, and change among the viewers and strengthen the love for local films,”
said Direk Lauren M. Dyogi, Head of Star Magic.
Leading the three-movie lineup is “I Love Lizzy” starring Carlo Aquino and Barbie Imperial which will be showing in theaters nationwide this January 18. The romantic drama film which tests the faith and fate follows a hometown party girl and a seminarian whose paths meet and whose lives are changed forever.
Viewers, then, take a wild turn with “The Swing” top-billed by real-life couple RK Bagatsing and Jane Oineza. Shot in picturesque Switzerland, the film depicts an adult love story about a couple who’s trying to save their marriage through unconventional means–that is engaging in swinging or swapping sexual partners. What they would discover about love, marriage, and their
partners would be the deciding factor of their relationship.
Completing the set for 2023 and with Switzerland still in the background comes “Unravel.” Starring Gerald Anderson and Kylie Padilla, the film puts forward the practice of assisted voluntary death, which is a legal practice in certain European countries. Tackling life, death, and everything in between, the film hopes to reawaken the weary souls of people no matter their status in their lives.
Helming all three films is seasoned director RC delos Reyes who is also behind the film “Alter Me.”
“Star Magic has been discovering and honing talents the last three decades and these three films featuring their artists will serve as the shining testaments of the agency’s notable experience and stature in the Philippine entertainment industry,” said delos Reyes.
Mavx Productions, Inc is the same production house behind the titles “Ikaw,” “A Faraway Land,” and “Doll House.” Together with Star Magic, it aims to challenge the norms of traditional films by experimenting with unconventional concepts, and formats set against the most breathtaking destinations.
