MANILA, Philippines—In a first-ever onscreen partnership, Piolo Pascual and Jasmine Curtis-Smith pair up in Black Cap Pictures’ intense drama thriller Real Life Fiction. Shot at the height of the pandemic, the movie delves into the abyss of an actor’s mind, slowly losing bits of his sense of self after years of being one of the most celebrated personalities in his time.
In the film, Pascual plays Paco, an actor with an illustrious career who then decides to write, direct, and act in a film that will inevitably bring him closer to his own demise. Paula (played by Curtis-Smith) comes into play as his on and off-screen muse, blurring the lines between what’s real and what’s not. The movie sheds light on the psyche and limits to which actors push themselves and the people around them to find brilliance in madness.

Along with Pascual and Curtis-Smith, Epy Quizon also stars as Paco’s stern yet considerate manager with the special participation of filmmaker Lav Diaz (Phantosmia) as the owner of an eclectic pawnshop where Paco finds himself drawn in while searching for his true self.
