#ATSGotYouCovered: The Story Behind "Ang Pamilyang Hindi Lumuluha"

The germ of the project started in 2013 when Sharon Cuneta launched her script writing contest. She was looking for a fresh material to do then that she will produce herself.

Rhea de Guzman, producer and a Sharonian, saw this as an opportunity to work with Sharon. She asked husband director Mes de Guzman to join the said contest.

Mes told her, "Ba't tayo sasali diyan? Gawa na lang tayo ng story na para sa kanya talaga."

Mes started working on it by watching some of Sharon's films. Dahil tailor-made kay Sharon ang pelikula, gusto nilang maging iba ito sa kanyang mga nagawa at maging sa kanilang mga nagawa na mismo sa Cinelarga Productions. Bukod pa roon ay comeback movie ito ni Sharon dahil 2009 pa ang huling pelikula na nagawa niya.

"Pinanood namin ang BFF," nabanggit ni Mes habang hinihintay matapos ang set-up para sa kukunang eksena. May pagka-comedy ang APHL pero malayo ito sa style ng comedy na ginawa ni Sharon sa BFF.

When they presented the material to Sharon, nagustuhan niya kaagad ito and decided to co-produce it. They were about to start filming in November 2014 when her mother Elaine passed away. Understandably the production was put on hold.

On this video, Rhea herself talks about how the project started. (Sa mga susunod na interviews na dapat n'yong abangan, ikukuwento ni Mes ang unang encounter niya kay Sharon at ipapaliwanag naman ni Sharon kung bakit niya tinanggap ang proyekto.)
