Netflix and Globe Studios have joined hands to take Filipino youth crime thriller Dead Kids to global audience through online streaming.
Dead Kids, directed by award-winning director Mikhail Red, is the first Netflix Original movie from the Philippines.
The film will be released exclusively on Netflix later this year, the streaming giant announced on Friday.
Mikhail Red said that for him this is a dream come true 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. 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," he added. Red expressed hope that this also helps open doors for more Filipino filmmakers.
