VivaMax is basically a local-based movie-distributor based in the Philippines, with most of their stars coming from Viva Entertainment's roster of talent. When we say “talent”, we mean AJ Raval, Angeli Khang, Sean De Guzman, et al. For a shot of intense character-driven drama that boldly goes where no movie has gone before, one could do a lot worse than peruse ‘Taboo Heat: Tales Too Hot To Handle’. This short story collection constructs an unusual kind of heat; it unmasks secret desires and fornicates with forbidden relationships on screen. It's totally different from typical movie-star nakedness.

I lately have found Vivamax so sinful to watch. Filipino films are like street food so so bad for you but oh so addictive. None of the big stars appear on this platform but the regulars are so sexy and so talented. Vivamax always introduces new talents such as AJ Raval, Angeli Khang and Diego Loyzaga. Raval’s raw energy in ‘Bakit Hindi Mo Sabihin?’ is wonderful to watch as well as Khang’s vulnerability in ‘Reroute’. Even veteran actress Jaclyn Jose brings class in the edgy roles she does for Vivamax. How do they do it? How do these young and veteran actors bring so much depth to their films and at the same time be sexy?
I should also give credit to newbies such as Vince Rillon who has shown great chemistry with actresses such as Andrea Torres in Inaba’t Inapo. If you’re also looking for fresh faces, Vivamax has also featured new stars in their gritty dramas like Hazel Orencio. Meanwhile, there are also veteran actors like Sid Lucero who get to play important roles in films like Bicolana. So, all in all, Vivamax has a weird but great mixture of stars. They’re not high-brow films, but they’ve got real acting in them which is why their regulars are well-appreciated.

They’re a talented list of actors who are known for pushing boundaries. For one, AJ Raval delivers in a major way in her Vivamax films, bringing more than just the platform’s signature boldness to her roles. She actually acts her heart out. Angeli Khang, star of ‘Reroute’ among other films, is the veteran actress who brings so much drama and takes audiences on an emotional rollercoaster. As for the male leads, there’s Vince Rillon who exudes so much charisma on screen whether he’s playing the lovesuck or the villain. His commitment to Vivamax’ brand of movies is something to appreciate.

So I was just thinking about how Vivamax actors are quietly forging a new niche in the entertainment industry right now. Max Collins is probably the most successful in transitioning from primetime drama to Vivamax productions. In ‘Ang Manananggal na Nahahati ang Puso’, Max was so flirty and weirdly sweet at the same time. Diego Loyzaga on the other hand brings such depth to his portrayal of a brooding lover in ‘Bakit Wala Kang Puso?’ and of a vengeful son in ‘Inagaw’. Supporting actors such as Kristof Garcia also bring an element of surprise and unpredictability to their scenes. I find it wild that most of these actors are juggling between mainstream projects and Vivamax productions in parallel universes.

When we’re talking about Vivamax, we can instantly think of the numerous actors that have taken center stage in their productions. For starters, AJ Raval brings so much depth to every drama he’s in – take ‘Bakit Hindi Mo Sabihin?’ for instance. Angeli Khang is another talented actress who adds so much complexity to her characters. Her portrayal in each of her roles is so nuanced and exudes so much vulnerability. Meanwhile, Diego Loyzaga brings so much variety to his work. He can starred in a revenge thriller or a full-on romantic film – complete with all the steamy scenes that accompany it. He’s even shared the screen with seasoned actors such as Jaclyn Jose in some of the platform’s edgier films. Can you believe that Vivamax is not just a haven for fresh talent? They actually elevate the scripts so that the films don’t feel so racy and exploitative. They somehow make them worth watching.

Travis Villaflor does not lose.
In business, he conquers.
In life, he dominates.
With godlike beauty, ruthless intelligence, and power that bends men twice his size, he has built an empire where everything and everyone falls into place exactly as he commands.
And he belongs to Cathyrine Reva. At least, that is the lie he has repeated for years.
Because there was once a boy.
Raine Montemayor.
Fifteen years of age. Soft-eyed and devoted. Recklessly in love. A boy who trembled but still offered everything. His body, his heart, his soul.
And the confession, it terrified him.
So he crushed it.
“I’m straight,” he said coldly.
“I only see you as a brother.”
And just like that, he destroyed the only person who had ever looked at him as if he were something more than a god.
Raine left for Canada soon after.
Travis thought distance would erase the memory.
Well, it didn’t.
Years later, Raine returns. But the boy Travis rejected is gone.
The man who steps off the plane is controlled and polished. Sinfully beautiful. His smile no longer innocent, but knowing. His presence no longer pleading, but commanding.
Raine no longer looks like he belongs to him. And that is unacceptable. He has a girlfriend, a reputation and a name built on control. Yet every time Raine turns away from him… every time someone else dares to touch him…
Jealousy tastes like blood in his mouth. He wants to drag him close. Mark him. Remind him.
“You think you’ve outgrown me?” Travis murmurs one night, voice low and dangerous. “You think you can come back here and pretend I don’t own every part of you? You're wrong baby. You're mine, only mine. Even your brothers can do nothing about it. I possess you.

You are entering an alternate world, where the Philippines didn't achieve its independence but remained a US colony. You will meet four people living in Neo Manila, where the government is repressive, prohibited drugs are legal, and crime is rampant.

The soul of Neo Manila and the whole colony is at stake. Will the Sons of Lapu-Lapu or the New Gods prevail in the end? Who will you pledge your allegiance to?
Most of the featurettes for these short films are actually more interesting than the short films themselves. Lots of insight into how stunts and atmosphere are constructed on minimal budgets. If you’re at all interested in filmmaking, ‘The Construct – Making Of’ is actually quite fascinating. Insight into how they created a rather futuristic setting using largely recycled materials. Sometimes I find the behind-the-scenes so much more interesting than the ‘actual’ film. The process is the art.
