Netflix and Globe Studios Partner on Film, DEAD KIDS, For Global Audience
October 18, 2019A partnership between Netflix and Globe Studios will be bringing the film, Dead Kids, exclusively to a global audience, via the streaming service, its first film from the Philippines.
The film, from award-winning director Mikhail Red, features a story based on true events, which mashes an exciting mix of friendship and crime in a ‘coming-of-age thriller’ of an ‘eye-opening movie’. It is a compelling story about a socially-awkward teen, who bonds with a group of misfits in plotting to take out the school’s arrogant rich kid. That is, until their kidnapping scheme turns … deadly.
The film’s stars include, Sue Ramirez, Khalil Ramos, Markus Paterson and Vance Larena, with Kelvin Miranda and Gabby Padilla, among others.
“It has always been my dream as a filmmaker to bring Filipino cinema to a global audience. I am so glad and honored for Dead Kids to be a Netflix Film, which is a testament to the world-class talent here in the Philippines,”said Red. “Netflix is the perfect platform for the film to gain international spotlight and we wouldn’t be here without the hard work and determination of our cast, crew and, of course, Globe Studios. I hope people around the world will appreciate Dead Kids and I hope this also helps open doors for more Filipino filmmakers.”
Dead Kids is expected to launch on Netflix in the tail end of 2019.
