TBA Studios has announced that the biographical historical film “Quezon” is set for production this March!
Directed by Jerrold Tarog, it will follow the life of Manuel L. Quezon, a Filipino lawyer and soldier who became the President of the Commonwealth of the Philippines.
The upcoming film marks the continuation of TBA Studios’ cinematic “Bayaniverse,” a series of films based on Philippine history that includes box office hits “Heneral Luna” and “Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral.”
It is also the company’s first major film production since 2020, following its distribution of award-winning international films such as the Academy Award-winning “Everything, Everywhere All At Once,” “Past Lives,” and the Dolly de Leon-starrer “Triangle of Sadness” to Philippine theaters.
According to TBA Studios President and COO Daphne Chiu, “Quezon” will be released both locally and internationally as a stand-alone film, with a target theatrical release later this year.
She added that casting for the film is currently underway, emphasizing that the cast will feature names that will surprise viewers and fans of the “Bayaniverse.”
“Quezon” is supported by the Philippine government agency National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) and the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP). This partnership underscores a shared goal between TBA Studios, NCCA, and FDCP to further strengthen the local film industry by producing and promoting world-class films.
