InDigital
Productions, the digital content production unit of the Philippines' premiere
media and entertainment company ABS-CBN Corporation, delves into the effects of
technology in the lives of people in today's modern world and the undying need
for real human connection with its newest original anthology series Touch
Screen. Now available on ABS-CBN's online streaming service iWant, the three-part
anthology tackles on how people interact with each other on and beyond the
screens and how it affects relationships.
Touch
Screen sports three different episodes headlined by three of the finest female stars
in Philippine entertainment today: Wittyrella, Vixee vs. Inday and It's A
Match. In Wittyrella, teen fan girl Mandy (Janella Salvador) uses her Twitter
to get her celebrity crush to notice her only to find herself in a feud with a
famous three-tweet account which is owned by someone close to her. Meanwhile,
Pokwang plays an old-school househelper who has been with a family for many
years in Vixee vs. Inday but was neglected and undervalued when the patriarch
brings home a fully functional smart gadget named Vixee. Finally, online dating
takes centerstage in It's A Match where an app developer (Joseph Marco) uses a
dating app for hookups, encounters one of his conservative managers (Denise
Laurel) on the app and makes a bet with his officemates to make her fall in
love with him.

Screen is InDigital's fourth offering following the short film anthology series
The End, the feel-good comedy anthology series Alamat Ng Ano and the
erotic-drama anthology spectacle Hush which are all available for online and
offline viewing on iWant. With these on hand that go beyond the traditional way
of telling stories, InDigital Productions aims to provide quality and engaging
Filipino entertainment content made possible by independent film directors and
content creators such as Jon Red, Mark Meily, Mikhail Red, Topel Lee, Dondon
Santos, Richard Somes and others.
The
End chronicles simple yet powerful everyday stories and highlights the last 24
hours of a person's life to show lessons on love, acceptance, hope and forgiveness.
It stars Denise Laurel, Aljur Abrenica, Carmi Martin, Luis Hontiveros, Mark
Neumann, Hazel Kinouchi, Sunshine Dizon, Vandolph and Joey Marquez. On the
other hand, Alamat Ng Ano makes fun of ordinary things by humorously exploring
and formulating their origins. Each episode of this laugh-out-loud show
features an ensemble of Kapamilya stars with the comedic duo of Jobert Austria
and Nonong Ballinan as a talky barangay tanod and his sidekick narrating each
story told.
Hush
pushes binge-watchers to an edgier route of storytelling with different erotic
drama stories featuring three fresh sexy icons namely Mica Javier of It's Showtime's
Girltrends, Gwen Soriano and Haiza Madrid. Due to its critical sensitivity and
adult content, the erotic drama anthology series can only be viewed from 11 pm
to 6 am the next day. Also included in InDigital's roster of upcoming original
series are Crimes of Passion, Six Feet Diner, Adam and Ed, Papa App, Trip To
Quiapo and Little Big Trio among others.
