“It’s an incredible feeling to see Under Parallel Skies make history as the first romance film from the Philippines distributed by Warner Bros. in select territories in Asia, and now it’s also available on Netflix for the global audience,” he remarked.

The film executive is proud to showcase Filipino storytellers on the global stage through the film's worldwide release on Netflix.

“This achievement is for Filipino filmmakers everywhere. Sharing a story that’s so close to our hearts on a platform like Netflix, reaching audiences worldwide, is something we’re deeply grateful for. It shows that Filipino stories have a place on the global stage, and I’m excited for more people to discover what we have to offer,” he stated.


Movie fans who will watch Under Parallel Skies for the first time can look forward to a story rich in cultural diversity according to Richard. “We shot the film in Hong Kong, a true melting pot where different cultures come together, and that’s a big theme of the story itself,” he shared.

He went on: “The film beautifully weaves Filipino, Thai, Hong Kong, and other Asian influences into the narrative, which I think really reflects how globally connected our lives have become. Viewers will also see that no matter where we come from, love is a universal experience.”

Under Parallel Skies tells the story of a Thai bachelor named Parin (Win) who travels to Hong Kong in search of his missing mother. He encounters a Filipino hotel employee named Iris (Janella) who helps him navigate love, heartbreak, and healing in the foreign city amid their differences in culture and identity.

Prior to its streaming release, Under Parallel Skies had its theatrical run in 13 countries and territories.

The movie had its world Premiere in Hong Kong on March 11 as one of the programs of the prestigious 17th Asian Film Awards. Win also received the Rising Star Award at the awards ceremony.
