MANILA – Kapamilya actor Raven Rigor and Cinemalaya film "Kantil" actor André Miguel are working on a new boys' love (BL) movie, directed by a student filmmaker.

Dramatically titled "At Least We Had This Moment," Rigor will play the role of Dino, a film photographer who would traverse and capture sights around Escolta, Manila; while Miguel will portray Vince, a stranger who will guide Dino.

The two will build a connection with the urban scene as the backdrop. 

Director Joshua de Vera, a graduating Broadcast Communication student in Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP), said the setting itself is a crucial character in the film.

"'Yung unique [dito] ay pag-delve niya sa concept of third places, and in this film, ito ay ang Escolta as matuturing din na third character sa istorya," he told ABS-CBN News.

De Vera also classified the movie as a "yearning coming-of-age." Coming-of-age is a known film genre that tackles the struggles and wonders of adulting, while yearning pertains to "intense longing".

The film will be released next year.
