Songs For Selina delivers a harrowing yet grounded portrayal of the music industry's grim realities. It stars Mica Javier and Rachel Coates as Selina and Maya, respectively.

“The entire film is deeply personal,” Jay R shared in a statement. “It draws from our own lived experiences, the stories of our peers, and the unspoken truths that quietly exist within the industry. As artists ourselves, we understand the fear of being marginalized or blacklisted for addressing uncomfortable truths, especially in systems where power is unevenly distributed. That vulnerability is precisely why we chose to tell this story through film and music.”

Songs For Selina features an ensemble cast that also includes Rachel Alejandro, Audie Gemora, Nicole Laurel, Leanne Mamonong, Gian Magdangal, and Jay R himself.

Jay R also co-wrote and produced the film's original motion picture soundtrack, which features solo and duet performances by lead stars Mica Javier and Rachel Coates.

Songs For Selina is brought to you by Homeworkz Entertainment and is distributed in the Philippines by Black Cap Pictures. It will be released exclusively on Ayala Cinemas.
