Globe Studios has a new online series that is all about showing the queer community that their own aspirational love stories are also meant to be told.
Gaya Sa Pelikula (Like in The Movies), written and created by Juan Miguel Severo and directed by JP Habac, puts the focus on our perception of love — how to love, who to love, when to love — and how it has always been influenced by all sorts of stories and tropes we see on the big screen and read in novels.
Ian Pangilinan and Paolo Pangilinan headlines the cast that will be comprised of Che Ramos, Chrome Cosio, Adrienne Vergara, Yesh Burce, Franco Ramos, and Justine Peña.
Globe Studios, who has in its roster, high-caliber and award-winning films like Birdshot, Goyo, Hintayan sa Langit, LSS and Dead Kids, is back with their first ever narrative digital series promises to bring back the “kilig” and laughter in a refreshingly unique way with Gaya sa Pelikula.
It has been described as a love letter for and from the community in how it freely presents queer love, all its feelings, and all its possibilities that can lead to a most-deserved happy ending.
Without exoticizing queer love, the story is presented in the most normal way possible. For the LGBTQIA+ community, Gaya Sa Pelikula proudly banners - “It’s time to take back our story.”
The romantic comedy series tells us about Karl, a 19-year-old introverted architecture student in the middle of an identity crisis and Vlad, a schoolmate on the run from his own family. As their lives become entwined by fate, they become housemates over the semestral break where Karl and Vlad come to learn more about each other and about themselves than they could have ever imagined.
Gaya sa Pelikula is premiering its first episode on Globe Studios' YouTube channel starting September 25 and will be presented in an 8-part 20-minute series.
