- CreaZion Studios added two new film projects—Zig Dulay’s Maria Maria and Ruel Santos Bayani’s 142—to its production slate.
- Zig Dulay is developing Maria Maria, a drama about two Filipino nurses in Canada confronting a shared past.
- Ruel Santos Bayani is developing 142, a romance to be shot in Spain that explores intimacy, timing, and distance‑shaped relationships.
- Anter RJ Agustin said the two films exemplify today’s Filipino storytelling—personal, culturally specific, yet universal—and that CreaZion aims to champion such voices for global audiences.
- CreaZion Studios recently co‑produced Zsazsa Zaturnnah, slated for an Annecy International Animation Film Festival premiere, and announced Knock Three Times by Jerrold Tarog starring Julia Barretto and Charo Santos‑Concio.
Why it matters: Filipino filmmakers such as Zig Dulay and Ruel Santos Bayani gain a global platform as CreaZion adds *Maria Maria* and *142* to its slate, while the studio’s push to internationalize Philippine content promises broader audience exposure and stronger market positioning for culturally specific stories.
