Star Cinema, the country’s biggest film production outfit, continues to prove its world-class moviemaking standards as its upcoming action-thriller co-produced with Reality Entertainment, “OTJ” (On The Job) captured the hearts of the international moviegoers who gave the film a rousing applause after its exhibition in the recently held 66th Cannes International Film Festival in France.
The Erik Matti masterpiece was one of the 21 feature films of the prestigious Directors’ Fortnight section of Cannes.
The world premiere of “OTJ” in Cannes was attended by Direk Erik and the film’s stars Piolo Pascual, Gerald Anderson, Rayver Cruz and Joel Torre; joined by Star Cinema’s creative manager JP Abellera and International Distribution and Access Group supervisor Kynan Del Rosario, and Reality Entertainment executive producer Dondon Monteverde.
“OTJ” is Piolo’s third movie that made it to Cannes. His first was another Star Cinema hit “Milan,” which was part of Cinemas in the World section of the 2005 Cannes International Film Festival; while the second was the independent film “Manila” produced by Piolo himself, which earned a special screening in 2009.
