An advocacy night was held for the upcoming film I Fell, It’s Fine, aligning with the film’s central themes of girl love, women empowerment, and an LGBT love story. The event gathered members of the media and supporters of the community to talk about the film’s message, its inspiration, and the importance of representation in Philippine cinema.
At the heart of I Fell, It’s Fine is a story about longing, connection, and the many ways love can surprise us.
Everyone longs to feel special—and that’s perfectly fine. But not everything we ask for is given to us in the way we expect. Sometimes, what we receive can be even better than we imagined.
The film explores the question of where we truly find the love we have been longing for. What if that love comes from a world that doesn’t exist in yours? Can love survive those differences? And can someone endure everything that love brings?
After a decade of waiting, Glaiza De Castro and Rhian Ramos reunite in this romantic comedy that promises both heartfelt and thought-provoking moments. Written and directed by Sigrid Andrea P. Bernardo and produced by Wide International, I Fell, It’s Fine brings together romance, humor, and emotion in a story that reflects the complexities of love.
The film also marks a special reunion for Rhian Ramos and Glaiza De Castro, who previously worked together in a girl love–themed series. Their chemistry and dynamic partnership from years ago made them a beloved pairing among fans, and this new project serves as a long-awaited comeback—this time on the big screen.
Directed by Sigrid Andrea Bernardo, who is known for championing films about the lesbian community and telling meaningful love stories, I Fell, It’s Fine continues her commitment to narratives that center on women and LGBT experiences.
During the advocacy night, Rhian, Glaiza, and Direk Sigrid openly expressed their support as proud allies of the LGBT community. They spoke candidly about several issues, including the economic realities of marriage in the Philippines and the ongoing conversation around same-sex marriage.
They pointed out that the Philippines still has a long way to go when it comes to progressiveness and acceptance of same-sex marriage. The conversation also touched on the economics of getting married in the country. According to them, the process can be expensive and often difficult for ordinary Filipinos to afford. Because of this, many couples turn to community mass weddings, or “kasalang bayan,” as a more accessible option.
Another important topic discussed during the night was the need for stronger LGBT safe spaces. Despite existing laws and policies meant to protect people from discrimination and harassment, they shared that stories of LGBT individuals being harassed or mistreated are still being heard today.
The team expressed hope that safer environments and stronger implementation of protections will continue to grow, so that members of the LGBT community can feel secure and respected in society.
One thing that stood out during the discussion was how comfortable Rhian and Glaiza are working with each other. Because of their long friendship and professional trust, they said performing scenes together—whether emotional, romantic, or intimate—comes naturally.
For them, I Fell, It’s Fine is not just another film project. It is also an opportunity to help open the minds of Filipino audiences to the idea that love stories between two women exist and deserve to be told on screen.
Stories like these, they believe, can help people see that love comes in many forms—and that it is possible for two women to share a meaningful and genuine love story.
I Fell, It’s Fine opens in cinemas on April 4.
