Sam Milby and KC Concepcion with director Cathy Garcia-Molina
MANILA, Philippines -- Star Cinema is proud to present on its 18th year of producing well-loved romantic movies, another potential blockbuster, “Forever and a Day,” featuring the fresh tandem of Sam Milby and KC Concepcion.
Described as a “film that celebrates the beauty of love and life,” “Forever and a Day” is directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina, who has given us several unforgettable romantic films in the recent past.
“Forever and a Day,” which opens today in over 100 theaters nationwide, is the story of a man (played by Sam Milby as Eugene Servero) who pushes himself to the limits, a man who is always up for the challenge. He is proud. He only lives for himself. He meets a woman (KC Concepcion as Raffy Salvador) one day, a woman who is more cautious in life, a woman who teaches him to embrace and appreciate life, love, and all its smallest blessings.
Direk Cathy said, “Hindi ba sa tunay na buhay parang ang dami mong gusto? Gusto mo lahat nagagawa mo according to how you want it and the way you want it. Pero minsan kailangan mo tanggapin na hindi lang ikaw, merong mga bagay na nagco-contribute. Maraming mga bagay na dapat kinu-consider hindi lang ang sarili mo. It’s about humility.”
About the Sam/KC tandem, the director said, “They are a new and fresh big-screen team-up. Very good friends in real life, we all know for a fact that Sam and KC are not an item. Star Cinema never banks on the relationship. Alam mo ‘yung hindi naman tayo ‘yung tipo na nagki-create na kunwari nagkakagustuhan ang mga artista para lang kumita ang pelikula. Tingnan mo ang kuwento, hindi sila.”
They shot the movie in various scenic places in the Philippines like Bukidnon and Cagayan de Oro.
“Nung nag-ocular ako I was surprised,” said Direk Cathy. “It was my first time in Bukidnon and Cagayan de Oro. I was surprised to know na may ganon pala tayo sa Pilipinas. To think that we have the longest zipline in Asia in Bukidnon makes me proud na nakapag-shoot ako doon.”
Sam and KC did the zipline (28 takes), and white-water rafting there.
