Jolina Magdangal shared what inspired her to venture into film producing in her latest movie Ex Ex Loves. &quot;Ito first time ko mag-try &#x27;yung sa pag-produce kasi na-inspire ako kay love team,&quot; she said, referring to Marvin Agustin who also co-produced the movie, in the latest episode of Netflix&#x27;s Bida/Bida.Marvin remarked that he was excited to work with Jolina not only in front of the camera but also as part of the producing team in the movie.&quot;Ang sarap kasi kapag nagsasama-sama &#x27;yung mga magkakaibigan sa industriya dahil alam namin kung gaano kahirap gumawa ng pelikula ngayon, kung gaano siya kalaking risk. So kaya nga as much as possible in ways na makakasuporta ka, manood ka man ng sine na &#x27;yun, ma-promote mo through your social media, alam mo &#x27;yun, tulungan,&quot; he stated.<iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-34" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DFPvzM5yH2j/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A34%2C%22os%22%3A34850280.19999999%2C%22ls%22%3A159061.89999997616%2C%22le%22%3A159371%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="665" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-34" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script>When asked what made them said yes to headlining the project, Marvin responded: &quot;Matagal na naming gustong-gusto. We&#x27;ve been talking about it... Gustong-gusto namin talaga. Naghahanap kami ng magandang project na pwede naming gawin, na pwede naming ipagmalaki.&quot;Jolina described Ex Ex Lovers as their dream project. &quot;Basta ito kaya natuloy kasi umabot na ng tenth draft (referring to the script). Dream project namin ito ni love team,&quot; the actress said.Marvin relayed that they were very hands on in the production of the film.&quot;Promise ko sa kanya na gagandahan namin &#x27;yung comeback movie namin so nakakatutok ako. Kasi malinaw &#x27;yung gusto namin. Gusto namin ng light, 90s vibe... And siyempre medyo may kabataan &#x27;yung writers namin nun parang hindi nila mahanap &#x27;yung timpla ng 90s rom-com so sabi namin ganito, ganito...  Ang ganda naman nung pinuntahan kasi &#x27;yung mga napapanahon na masarap pag-usapan sa pelikula, nailagay siya in a rom-com na 90s,&quot; he said.Ex-Ex Lovers is now streaming on Netflix.As per its IMDb, the movie tells the story of &quot;Joy (Jolina) [as she] must stop her daughter SC&#x27;s engagement while reuniting with Ced (Marvin), her ex-husband, in Malta. As they scheme to break up SC&#x27;s relationship, old feelings resurface, leaving Joy torn between protecting SC and rekindling her first love.”
