Imagine an hour and 45-minute long film all shot in one go, without cuts playing on the big screen. And by the way, this real-time story completely unravels with the main character a mere step away from death atop a towering billboard along EDSA.

To capture the fear and excitement, the action and drama of such a premise — be it from the depths of the capital's main thoroughfare or the sky-high altitude of those robust steel poles — is the challenge ahead of the prolific and globally-renowned director Aldof Alix Jr. ('Donsol,' 2006; 'Adela,' 2008; 'Death March,' 2013; 'That Boy in the Dark,' 2022). Well, that and also getting what he needs out of his chosen lead for this definitively unconventional project in the person of the serious, versatile and apparently acrophobic actor Edgar Allan 'EA' Guzman.
