Star Cinema announces “Caregiver” international screenings
I can’t wait to see this movie. Although it’s funny how they shot the movie in London in a matter of weeks only. Three weeks to be exact. I remember the good old days of film-making. It takes them months to complete. Maybe it’s due to technology advancement. I hope that the movie provides the real experience of OFWs all over the world for all the world to see.
For three weeks, Sharon Cuneta, John Estrada, Rica Peralejo, Jhong Hilario, Makisig Morales, and director Chito Roño toured the city of London to shoot the movie Caregiver. This marks the movie comeback of the Megastar Sharon Cuneta in time for the 15th anniversary celebration of Star Cinema, the production outfit of ABS-CBN. John Estrada recalls that they shot scenes in locations such as Trafalgar Square and Portobello Road. As for Sharon, she experienced health problems called cold sores because of the extreme weather in England. She narrates that she had rashes and the flu (trangkaso) while taping in London.

Direk Chito even tells an anecdote about senior citizens who volunteered to act for free in Caregiver. In one of the care homes that they visited, it turned out that the residents used to perform in West End plays and that they missed acting so they asked the director if they could play cameo roles in Caregiver.
On May 27, all roads lead to SM Megamall as the Megastar, Star Cinema, and Direk Chito Roño premiere the film, red-carpet, Hollywood-style! The star-studded event will be doubly significant since it was Sharon herself who first had her premiere night at SM Megamall with Madrasta (1996).
