SM City Cebu Hosts Viva Films’ Cebu Premiere of “Hold Me Close”

Viva Films holds its Cebu red carpet premiere night for their official entry to the 50th Metro Manila Film Festival 2024 at SM City Cebu, “Hold Me Close,” starring Carlo Aquino and Julia Barretto. 

 

Written and directed by Jason Paul Laxamana, “Hold Me Close” is a romance-drama-fantasy film that entails the story of Woody (Carlo Aquino) and Lynlyn (Julia Barretto). Woody has been searching the world for a place to call home for the past seven years. As he travels to Japan, he meets Lynlyn, who possesses the unique ability to determine if a person will bring joy or pain into her life only by touching them. But just like every other love story, pain is inevitable — will Woody and Lynlyn let go of torment or hold on despite it? 

 

The film’s Cebu premiere at SM City Cebu on December 19 was graced by the presence of the casts, Carlo Aquino and Julia Barretto.

 

Hold your loved ones closer this Christmas as “Hold Me Close” is set to premiere only in cinemas nationwide on December 25.
