Two young, hot girls on a road trip.
A handsome, mysterious guy eager to discover the open road.
What happens next?
This is the question offered to viewers by “Sweet Release,” starring Ataska, Dyessa Garcia and Mhack Morales.
In it, Ataska is optimistic, happy-go-lucky Rian.
Dyessa is Xan, Rian’s best friend.
The two are on a road trip after Rian was left hanging by her boyfriend.
She believes a road trip will help her move on from the hurt caused by their breakup.
Mhack plays Lucas, who is actually out to fulfill things on his bucket list.
“Sweet Release” follows the adventurous trio as the experience life.
Along the way, there will be discoveries, awakenings.
Director Pancho Maniquis describes “Sweet Release” as “sort of a spiritual successor to Sex Drive,” one of the most erotic movies of 2003.
“While I know everyone is keeping an eye out for the sexy scenes, they can also look forward to a heartwarming exploration of friendship, love, as well as the journey towards understanding oneself amidst life’s uncertainties. Overall, I just want everyone to see that, though life might be one hell of a bumpy ride sometimes, it’s still one amazing journey when we’re with the right people.”
The three leads agree that doing the film was fun.
Ataska remarked, “Good vibes all around. Our team felt like a family. It’s like the universe brought us all together to create something beautiful.”
Dyessa adds, “’Yong samahan namin nina Ataska, Mhack and nila Direk, hindi siya basta work lang para sa akin kasi totoo yung bond. Mas lalo kong minamahal yung pag arte dahil dito. Mas nagkaroon ako ng tiwala sa sarili ko na makakaya ko lahat ng trabahong ibibigay sa akin.””
Mhack echoes his co-stars’ feelings, saying, “sobrang cool at ang babait ng production lalo na si Direk Pancho. Naging mabilis ang mga sequence at naging close ko ang lahat kaya isa itong pinaka-best at pinakamasaya kong experience.”
“Sweet Release” streams on Vivamax, April 12.
