An inspirational film that is also meant to tickle the funny bone.
This is how Rossana Hwang of Kapitana Entertainment Media describes “Isang Komedya sa Langit.”
“It is based on a book that I wrote,” she added. “I am hoping we could touch more people with the film version.”
Set to premiere in theaters nationwide on May 28, the film promises an unforgettable cinematic journey filled with joy, reflection, and a touch of magic.
Said film director Roi Paolo Calilong, “It plays like a dream sequence. It blends comedy, fantasy, and drama, a mix that Filipinos in general enjoy.”
At the heart of the film is the veteran actor Jaime Fabregas, who takes on the role of Father Emanuel Garcia.
While playing a priest may be familiar territory for him, he admits “may challenge pa rin kase hindi naman lahat ng pari ay pare-pareho ang character.”
Drawing from personal experiences, Fabregas revealed that he once served as an altar boy at the Naga Cathedral, a connection that undoubtedly adds depth and authenticity to his performance.
Joining Fabregas is the ever-charismatic Carmi Martin, who plays the role of Naty—a part originally offered to Nova Villa.
Embracing the project without hesitation, Martin saw great promise in the film’s story.
“Gusto ko ang character ko in the film kasi it speaks to my generation na kahit senior na kami e, we could be useful pa rin naman,” she shared.
Also starring in the film is rising talent Aki Blanco, portraying Brother Marco. Following his acclaimed performance in “The Last 12 Days,” Blanco, managed by Tyronne Escalante, continues to build his reputation with another moving performance.
Also part of the cast: EA Guzman, John Medina, and Gene Padilla.
“I got involved with the casting kasi gusto ko yung magagaling pero mababait na actors para sa pelikula,” said Rossana.
