Student-filmmaker Joshua De Vera of SBSG Pictures announces the cast of his upcoming film, At Least We Had This Moment, a coming-of-age short exploring the complexities of connection amidst the chaos of Manila.
Drawing inspiration from the concept of the "third place," the film centers around Escolta, Manila's historic street, as a space for solace and a safe space for artists and romantics. The story follows Dino, a young photographer, and his local stranger Vince as they navigate the city's aged architecture, forging a connection against the urban backdrop.
The film is set to be released next year (2025) with the logline: In his quest to capture the aged architecture of Manila, film photographer Dino (Raven Rigor) seeks the company of a local stranger, Vince (André Miguel). But as the city noises grew, their stories stood out.
Meet the Cast
Andre Miguel as Vince: Cinemalaya Kantil Actor and the star of the film’s thematic prequel please, remember this night, Miguel brings warmth as he plays the charming and free-spirited Vince, a tour guide who brightens any room he enters.
Raven Rigor as Dino: A rising actor known for his roles in Dirty Linen and Beach Bros, Rigor embodies the enigmatic and introspective Dino, a film photographer whose emotional walls keep deeper connections at bay.
A Collaboration of Passion
Produced by SBSG Pictures, a small all-queer production based in the Philippines, known for their BL short film please, remember this night and the sapphic short film Saan Ako Pinaglihi? which won ‘Panalo sa Manood Award’ at Puregold CinePanalo Film Festival. Joining forces in producing this film is visionary student-filmmaker Stephen Dela Peña of Far Eastern University, alongside executive producers Jon Galvez with Astral 88 and Carlos Ortiz with 901 Studios.
The film is written by De Vera and Sean Romero of MAPUA University, well-known for his “yearncore” BL film The World We Left. Cinematographer Wence Trajano, known for his work on films like Balota and Nanahan, is set to enhance the film's visual storytelling, bringing Manila’s historic architecture to life. The project also features a powerhouse lineup of rising filmmakers, including Ian Villa, Mar-ian Ejandra, Julius Renomeron Jr., and Johmar Damiles, promising a film that’s as dynamic and vibrant as the team behind it.
