Kapamilya Breakout Loveteam KD Estrada and Alexa Ilacad Headline First International Movie "Toss Coin"

Kapamilya stars and breakout loveteam KD Estrada and Alexa Ilacad take center stage in their international movie debut, "Toss Coin," directed by the award-winning and Philippines’ highest-grossing film director, Cathy Garcia-Sampana.

The story revolves around the unexpected encounter between Kiko (KD) and Pia (Alexa) and the enchanting love story that unfolds amidst the vibrant streets of Hong Kong.

Playing a delightful game of hide and seek, Kiko and Pia embark on a journey that unravels into a sweet and touching romance exploring the themes of destiny, belief, and the courage to embrace opportunities.

KD and Alexa shared their excitement working on their first international microfilm with Direk Cathy, deeming it a proud moment in their careers. “Pinagyayabang ko siya, ang maka work si Direk Cathy. It’s an honor to be chosen to do this. Sabi ko nga, we have to impress them and be fun to work with,” said Alexa.

“Alam naman natin na si Direk Cathy is a master of RomCom, I was very shocked and nervous, but Alexa and I talked na we’re going to bring our A game and we want to make the story shown to everyone,” KD added.

After directing the highest-grossing domestic film in Philippine history “Hello, Love, Goodbye”, shot in Hong Kong, Direk Cathy once again emphasized the beauty of the city by bringing out the authenticity and human connection within the film through the scenic backdrop of Hong Kong and the compelling chemistry of the lead actors.

“While I personally like the city’s human touch and culture, this time, I had the opportunity to show the other side of Hong Kong, highlighting the beautiful architecture of the buildings and the intersection between artistic galleries and vibrant murals that blended perfectly with the story and Kdlex’s chemistry,” she shared.

“Toss Coin" is one of the three microfilms featured in "Hong Kong In The Lens By Asian Directors” produced by CJ ENM Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Tourism Board.

The "Hong Kong In The Lens By Asian Directors" project has been chosen to be part of the 20th Hong Kong Asian Film Festival with two other micro films “Hong Kong, Within Me” from Korea directed by Director Kang Yun Sung, the Korean director and screenwriter of "The Outlaws,” which is the third highest-grossing restricted film in South Korea since 2017. While, “Zi Mui” from Thailand is directed by Thai director Nattawut Poonpiriya, the director and screenwriter of “Bad Genius,” Thailand’s highest-grossing film since 2017.
