Matapos ang successful run ng “Unconfined Cinema” ni director Antoinette Jadaone kasama ang mga aktor na sina Bea Alonzo at John Lloyd, isang aktres ang nagbo-boluntaryo para sa susunod na episode nito.

Sa Twitter, sinagot ni Alessandra de Rossi ang Twitter post ni Antoinette at nag-suggest pa ng topic kung maisipan ng direktor na sundan ito.

Aniya, “Direk, gawa daw kami ni Empoy [Marquez]. 'Yung ma-o-ospital na ako sa kakatawa.”

Biro pa niya, tatawagin niya itong “confined cinema.”

Maalalang nagtagumpay ang tambalang AlEmpoy dahil sa pelikulang “Kita Kita” na idinirehe ni Sigrid Andrea Bernardo noong 2017.

Sa pelikula gumanap si Alessandra de Rossi bilang si Lea isang Filipino Tour guide sa Saporro habang si Empoy naman ay gumanap bilang si Tonyo, ang kapit bahay niya.

Unconfined Cinema

Ang unconfined cinema ay isang collaborative project ni Antoinette na nag-e-explore ng iba't-ibang mediums para ipalabas ang isang pelikula.

Ayon sa post nina Bea Alonzo at John Lloyd, na gumanap noong April 27 gamit ang Instagram Live, layunin ng proyekto na maghanap ng ibang pamamaraan para magsalaysay ng istorya.

Ang tema ng produksyon nila ni John Lloyd ay “Love Team”

Aniya, “Love stories have always had their place in Filipino cinema, and we wanted to bring the feeling that those movies inspire to a platform that has become more relevant and utilized in this time of quarantine - social media, specifically Instagram.

"The use of social media creates all sorts of new possibilities for storytelling. This was a story told over two weeks, adapting and evolving to real-life events, integrating our genuine sentiments over the state that we're in.

"This is a platform where we all share little bits of ourselves. Through our images, this curated list of memories, we reveal what it is we want the rest of the world to see.

"Using the various features of Instagram, we attempted to tell a story of two people reconnecting in a trying time; separated by distance but united in their memories.

"We are in a culture where the usually distinct line between reality and make-believe blur. We started this story by stating that “any resemblance to persons, living or dead, is intentional.”

"And that remains true. It was the only way this was possible.”

The Unconfined Cinema was founded on the idea of exploring what else cinema could be, freeing our stories to be told outside of the traditional spaces and conceptual boundaries set by the last century of the medium. In this unprecedented time of quarantine, in a time when movie production is impossible, we found it especially pressing to find ways to tell our stories. “Love Team” is a love story - whether romantic or in its other forms - told entirely within Instagram. It is a story of our times. Love stories have always had their place in Filipino cinema, and we wanted to bring the feelings that those movies inspire to a platform that has become more relevant and utilised in this time of quarantine - social media, specifically Instagram.

The Unconfined Cinema invites filmmakers and artists to join us in exploring the possibilities of our cinema. Not just on Instagram, but on every stage imaginable. #unconfinedcinema @tonetjadaone @dumpsitegallery @philbertdy #ErwinRomulo
