Former child actress Andrea Brillantes ("Kadenang Ginto", "Senior High", "High Street") has signed up to star in the upcoming drama thriller "Laya" from Philippines production outfit Rein Entertainment. The film is written and directed by Sigrid Andrea P. Bernardo ("Anita's Last Cha-Cha", "I See You").
Set against the coastal backdrop of Oslob, Cebu, known as a sanctuary for whale sharks, the film is scheduled to start shooting in the island province in October. It has been described as a redemption drama that follows Laya, a young woman who drifts from place to place carrying an unresolved anger from the loss of her father at a young age, until her path crosses with a lonely ex-criminal, also haunted by shadows from the past.
With a massive worldwide social media following, including 21.4 million followers on TikTok and 14.3 million on Instagram, Brillantes has also made a mark as an entrepreneur with her own make-up line and a jewellery brand.
Rein Entertainment is launching "Laya" and other projects at the Asian Contents & Film Market (ACFM), attending the market as part of the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) pavilion. Launched in 2017 by writer-directors Shugo Praico, Lino Cayetano and Philip King, Rein is building a slate of Filipino and Southeast Asian stories with global appeal.
On the series side, Rein's Manila and Hong Kong-set crime drama "Dose" has been selected for the series section of this year's Taiwan Creative Content Fest (TCCF) Pitching. The series revolves around two women – a rising triad queenpin and a relentless international police agent – who form an unlikely alliance within a male-dominated criminal Asian underworld.
