It's
been about two years since the unexpected death of the phenomenal box-office
blockbuster director Wenn V. Deramas. Before his death, we learned that he has
helmed his last film with online sensation Alex Gonzaga and Kapamilya leading man JC De Vera as the main actors.
Little did we know, it was finished and it is now available on iWant.
Wenn
Deramas' last film Everybody Loves Baby Wendy is a story about a young woman who
tries her best to enter the showbiz industry. Who would have thought that his
last hurrah happens to be one of iWant's slate of original films that is set to
become available until the first quarter of 2019? True enough, this would be a
chance for movie buffs to feel the magic of Direk Wenn one last time just by
watching this intriguing film.
