iWant and Indigital Productions Partner To Provide More Online Shows

AFTER producing three original anthology series for the streaming service iWant, ABS-CBN’s digital content production unit, Indigital Productions, delves into the effects of technology and the need for real human connection in its newest original “Touch Screen.”

“Touch Screen,” which streams on March 6 on iWant, is a three-part anthology headlined by Janella Salvador, Pokwang and Denise Laurel. It tackles how people interact on and beyond their screens, and how it affects relationships. 

 

 

 

In the episode “Wittyrella,” teen fan girl Mandy (Janella) uses Twitter to get her celebrity crush to notice her. But soon she finds herself in a feud with a famous three-word tweet account, only to realize that the person behind the account is someone close to her.

Pokwang, meanwhile, plays an old-school househelp who has been with a family for many years in “Vixee vs. Inday.” She finds herself neglected and undervalued when the father brings home a fully functional smart gadget named Vixee.

Online dating also takes centerstage in “It’s A Match,” where an app developer (Joseph Marco) who uses a dating app for hook-ups, encounters one of his conservative managers (Denise Laurel) on the app. He then makes a bet with his officemates to make his boss fall in love with him.

“Touch Screen” is the fourth offering of Indigital, following the short film anthology series “The End,” the feel-good comedy anthology series “Alamat ng Ano,” and the erotic-drama anthology series “Hush”—all currently streaming on iWant.

“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, Kazel Kinouchi, Sunshine Dizon, Vandolph, and Joey Marquez.
