About Movie:
Shot mostly in Japan, the film Crosspoint was written and directed by Japan-based Filipino director Donie Ordiales from a story he wrote years earlier. The film was originally going to be a low-budget independent film but this was changed when ABS-CBN exclusive actor, Carlo Aquino, joined the project and made it into his first feature-length film. According to Ordiales, the characters in the movie were based on and inspired by the people he met in Japan.
A Philippine-Japanese collaboration film produced by High Road Creatives and 034 Productions, the film was theatrically released in the Philippines on 16 October 2024 and it will be released in Japan in 2025.
