Star Magic continues to shine brighter as it celebrates its 30th anniversary by producing its first movie titled “Connected” featuring popular reality TV stars from recent seasons of “Pinoy Big Brother,” which will be streaming starting July 22.
Top billed by former “PBB” housemates Amanda Zamora, Chico Alicaya, Gail Banawis, Ralph Malibunas, Kobie Brown, Andi Abaya, and Richard Juan, “Connected” is a youth-oriented movie that tackles young love and the struggle to combat feelings of isolation in a connected world.
The former housemates will star as seven young adults with different personalities, but are all looking for attention, a sense of purpose, and love.
“Connected” will also serve as the realization of Star Magic Studios’ vision to produce movies that will showcase its stars’ talents. In February 2022, Star Magic and ABS-CBN Entertainment Production head Laurenti Dyogi mentioned Star Magic Studios as one of the exciting plans for Star Magic’s 30th year.
Theodore Boborol, the director of “Vince & Kat & James,” “Finally Found Someone,” and “Just the Way You Are,” returns with “Connected,” his first film since “James & Pat & Dave” in 2020.
“Connected” will be streaming on KTX, iWantTFC, TFC IPTV video-on-demand, and SKY Cable. The cast will go on a mall tour: Robinsons Galleria (July 10), SM Las Piñas (July 16), Robinsons Antipolo (July 17), and Robinsons Las Pinas (July 23).
Star Magic has been the home and training ground for the biggest and brightest names in Philippine entertainment for three decades. It has provided workshops in acting, dance, art, script appreciation, styling, voice production, as well as physical fitness training in order to develop disciplined, well-rounded and world-class performers. Star Magic artists are also encouraged to use their influence for good by supporting ABS-CBN Foundation’s advocacies.
