Following its success at the 50th Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) in December, GMA Network’s critically acclaimed film Green Bones will be available to stream worldwide on Netflix beginning June 19.
Produced by GMA Pictures and GMA Public Affairs in partnership with Brightburn Entertainment, the film stars Dennis Trillo and Ruru Madrid, who earned Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor awards, respectively, at the MMFF.
Directed by Zig Dulay and based on an original concept by GMA Public Affairs senior documentary manager JC Rubio, Green Bones tells the story of Domingo Zamora (Trillo), a prisoner serving time for the murder of his sister. As his release nears, a newly assigned prison guard, Xavier Gonzaga (Madrid), takes it upon himself to prevent Zamora from gaining his freedom.
The film draws from a belief that green-colored bones found in human remains signify a life lived with goodness.
The ensemble cast includes Michael de Mesa, Ronnie Lazaro, Wendell Ramos, and Alessandra de Rossi. The film also features the special participation of Iza Calzado and Nonie Buencamino.
In addition to the acting honors for Trillo and Madrid, Green Bones won Best Picture, Best Screenplay for National Artist Ricky Lee and Angeli Atienza, Best Cinematography for Neil Daza, and Best Child Performer for Sienna Stevens at the MMFF.
