‘Firefly’ becomes the #1 movie in Prime Video Philippines less than 24 hours after it started streaming

GMA Pictures' award-winning movie "Firefly" became the #1 movie on Prime Video Philippines less than 24 hour after it became available for streaming.

Top-billed by GMA Sparkle child star Euwenn Mikaell and award-winning actress Alessandra de Rossi, the coming-of-age road trip film is based on the original story of GMA Public Affairs Senior AVP Angeli Atienza and is directed by Zig Dulay.

More stars include Miguel Tanfelix, Ysabel Ortega, Max Collins, Yayo Aguila, Cherry Pie Picache, and Epy Quizon.

“Firefly” narrates a moving story about family, dreams, and bravery, as the young Tonton (Euwenn) embarks on a journey to find the mystical island of fireflies based on his mother's bedtime stories.

It became available on Prime Video Wednesday, April 30.

It won the Metro Manila Film Festival Best Picture award, and Euwenn was named Best Child Actor.

At the first Manila International Film Festival held earlier this year in California, "Firefly" bagged the top awards including Best Director for Zig Dulay and Best Screenplay for GMA Public Affairs Assistant Vice President Anj Atienza.
