STAR MAGIC VENTURES INTO MOVIE MAKING WITH DEBUT FILM “CONNECTED”

“PBB” alumni step up to showcase acting chops for Star Magic’s 30^th anniversary  

Star Magic continues to shine brighter as it celebrates its 30^th 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 (Fri). 

 

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 "PBB" 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 30^th 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.
