Adding yet another recognition in Julia Barretto and Joshua Garcia’s film Love You to The Stars’ is the fact that it is screening at the Osaka Asian Film Festival.

The film about a girl who believes in aliens and eventually meets a cancer-stricken guy on her way to find them, is among the four local films selected to "celebrate the 100 years of Philippine cinema" at the said film festival.

Being part of the festival has made it possible for Love You To The Stars and Back to be shown in Osaka for the first time.
