‘Green Bones’ donates set props to Manila City Jail

“Green Bones,” starring Dennis Trillo and Ruru Madrid, has donated its props and set pieces to the Manila City Jail.

On Monday, GMA Pictures shared a video on social media of the Manila City Jail Male Dorm featuring some of the props used in the film, such as wooden bunk beds, tables, and chairs that will now be used by persons deprived of liberty (PDLs).

According to SJ01 Melchor Sevellino, the PDLs in the dorm are all senior citizens. 

“From reel to real life,” the caption read.

Previously, the Manila City Jail held a special screening of “Green Bones.”

The film, produced by GMA Pictures, is directed by Zig Dulay based on an original story by JC Rubio, senior documentary manager of GMA Public Affairs. 

It follows Domingo Zamora (Dennis Trillo), who is notorious for the murder of his sister and her daughter. Now that Domingo is up for parole, the newly assigned prison guard (Ruru Madrid) takes a personal interest in making sure that he remains behind bars no matter what.

On Sunday night, "Green Bones" took home five awards at the 8th Entertainment Editors' Choice Awards (EDDYS Awards), which include: Best Picture, Best Actor for Dennis, Best Supporting Actor for Ruru, Best Director for Dulay, and Best Cinematography for Neil Daza. 

It also bagged several awards at the Metro Manila Film Festival 2024, such as Best Picture, Best Screenplay (Ricky Lee and MMFF 2023 Best Screenplay winner Angeli Atienza), Best Actor (Dennis), Best Supporting Actor (Ruru), Best Cinematography (Neil), and Best Child Performer (Sienna Stevens).

Moreover, it won First Best Picture, Best Actor (Dennis), Best Supporting Actor (Ruru), and Best Director (Direk Zig) at the 3rd Gawad Dangal Filipino Awards.
