Cathy Garcia-Sampana Talks “Meet, Greet & Bye”
Cathy Garcia-Sampana is blessed to have a great cast for her new family drama “Meet, Greet & Bye” from Star Cinema. In the film, Maricel Soriano is Baby, the matriarch of the family, and she is sick from cancer. Before you say oh no another Filipino tearjerker, listen up! The central theme may be death and dying but the whole premise is made palatable with a funny subplot about Baby wanting to meet her favorite Korean actor, Park Seo-joon who’s about to visit the Philippines for a special meet and greet. Piolo Pascual, Joshua Garcia, Juan Karlos Labajo, and Belle Mariano play the siblings.
In this interview, Garcia-Sampana takes you behind-the-scenes of making the film – her interest in directing the movie, her cast, and what genre does she want to do next?
“Meet, Greet & Bye” is currently showing in North American theaters.
Joshua Garcia Talks “Meet, Greet & Bye”
Joshua Garcia is a fantastic actor and it’s all on full display in “Meet, Greet & Bye.” He creates fireworks with his scene partners in the film whether it’s Maricel Soriano or Piolo Pascual. In the movie, he plays the middle son, Brad, who gave up everything to help his family’s lechon (roast pork) business.
In this interview, Joshua breaks down a couple of my favorite scenes, talks about his interest in working in the film, how he and his co-stars bonded, and what he hopes for viewers to get after watching the film.
