Kapuso actress Glaiza de Castro and actor Dominic Rocco's hit local film Sleepless continues to make noise on video streaming platform Netflix since its premiere on September 3.

Now on its fourth day, Sleepless already hit the Top 5 spot on Netflix Philippines's most streamed movies.

It follows the story of Gem (Glaiza), an insomniac who despite being on a stable status on her job as a call center agent, feels the pressure to find a more prestigious job. There he meets Barry (Dominic), a newbie in the call center industry and will later on be her training partner.

Directed by Prime Cruz, the film gave a glimpse into call center agents' world in the so-called city that never sleeps.

Sleepless is an entry to the 2015 QCinema (Quezon City) Film Festival where it bagged the NETPAC Jury Prize for Best Picture at the Circle, with Dominic Roco also winning as Best Actor. The film also competed at the Osaka Asian Film Festival in 2016.
