Leonor Reyes was once a major player in the Filipino film industry after creating a string of successful action films, but now her household struggles to pay the bills, much to the chagrin of her adult son Rudy, who lives in the household.
When she reads an advertisement looking for screenplays for a competition, Leonor begins tinkering with an unfinished script about the quest of young, noble Ronwaldo, forced to avenge his brother’s murder at the hand of thugs. While her imagination provides some escape from reality, she goes all-in after an accident involving a television knocks her out, sends her into a coma, and transports her inside the incomplete movie. Now, Leonor can play out her wildest dreams firsthand and discover the perfect ending to her story.
Martika Ramirez Escobar was born in Manila/Philippines in 1992. Her love for the bizarre is best reflected through her films and photography. After graduating with honors from the University of the Philippines, her thesis, STONE HEART, competed at the Busan International Film Festival in 2014. Her short film QUADRILATERALS premiered at the 9th DMZ Docs. She is an alumna of the Berlinale Talents Tokyo, Asian Film Academy, and Southeast Asian Film Lab, among others. The realization of her feature debut, LEONOR WILL NEVER DIE, took her eight years and premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2022.
Filmography (selection): 2014 STONE HEART, 2017 QUADRILATERALS, 2020 LIVING THINGS (all short films), 2022 LEONOR WILL NEVER DIE
