Nathan Studios, led by CEO Ria Atayde and owned by the Atayde family, reaffirms its commitment to groundbreaking content creation with the acquisition of acclaimed Japanese drama, “Monster.”
In collaboration with actress Lorna Tolentino and 888 Films International, Nathan Studios secured the rights to the critically acclaimed film directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda and awarded Best Screenplay at Cannes.
“Monster,” a significant departure for Kore-eda, features Ryuichi Sakamoto’s last musical composition, making it a tribute to his legacy. It premiered at the 76th Cannes Film Festival, competing for the Palme d’Or, and later released in Japan on June 2, 2023.
At its core, “Monster” delves into adolescence, deceit, and their consequences through the perspectives of Minato, Saori, and Eri. Nathan Studios’ team, deeply moved by the film, aims to share its poignant narrative with Filipino audiences, touching upon themes of love, anti-bullying, family, and mental health.
As Nathan Studios prepares to introduce “Monster” to Filipinos, they promise an emotionally charged and thought-provoking cinematic experience. The studio remains dedicated to bringing diverse and impactful stories to the forefront.
Nathan Studios is known for projects like “Cattleya Killer,” “Misis Piggy,” and “Topakk,” and recently made waves at the Cannes Film Festival. For more updates, follow @nathan.studios on Instagram and like Nathan Studios Inc. on Facebook.
