“It was very challenging,” revealed Boots. “We received a total of 39 scripts with an average of 100 pages. “And you have to read through all of them carefully.

Also part of the first five entries are “Green Bones” from the makers of the MMFF 2023 Best Picture “Firefly.” Directed by Zig Dulay and co-written by National Artist for Film Ricky Lee and Angeli Atienza , the suspense drama is going to be produced by GMA Pictures. “We can’t say we’re pressured, but we’re elevating the bar, not just the quality of the films but also the box-office ,” Artes said.
