By using an ingenious movie-within-a-movie storytelling analysis in Write About Love, Author & Director Crisanto B. Aquino has given a crisp take on how craft resembles life and vice versa.
Call them romcoms or lighthearted scenes but granted how fashionable these sorts of the flick are at the box office, it’s plausible to complete that love fantasy is enormous with Filipino audiences.
If Write About Love, TBA Studios’ admission for the 45th Metro Manila Film Festival is any prediction, the comment it’s all but smooth. As our idol known as Female Writer (played by Miles Ocampo) got the hard process, writing a script that will get a dominant studio to green-light the task for filming is not without its owned risks.
Like Joyce, Female Writer also comes from a broken family and is trying to find some silver lining by creating a script based on her parent’s own love story which started as sweet and movie-worthy until her father left them for a woman he depicted as his one great love.
Like Marco who later faces what seems to be something insurmountable midway to the story, Male Writer is also dealing with his own personal struggles, unbeknownst to Female Writer.
As the two writers slowly set aside their differences and work together to create a compelling and believable story about love that movie audiences can relate to, the writing process leads them to a fulfilling path of self-discovery.
Write About Love will show viewers that writing a love story is as personal as it gets.
Like Marco who becomes a total wreck when Joyce chooses her career, a parallel story in real-time will show Female Writer getting hurt when Male Writer suddenly leaves her in the middle of an immersion trip just when things are clicking for both of them.
