The script is written by Marionne Dominique Mancol (‘He’s Into Her’). Carmi Raymundo is this title’s creative manager, while Daniel Saniana is the creative supervisor.

The second film she will headline is the historical Japanese era-set drama film ‘Elena 1944,’ under Black Sheep. This is to be directed by Olivia M. Lamasan. Written by Patrick John R. Valencia and Enrico Santos, its screenplay is based on Valencia’s Palanca award-winner “The Revenge of the Comfort Woman.” The creative manager for this project is Vanessa Valdez. ‘Elena 1944’ is set for release in 2024.
