Inside the Fun and Heartfelt Filipino Film “Meet, Greet & Bye”

Cathy Garcia-Sampana is blessed to have a great cast for her new family drama “Meet, Greet & Bye” from Star Cinema.  In the film, Maricel Soriano is Baby, the matriarch of the family, and she is sick from cancer.  Before you say oh no another Filipino tearjerker, listen up!  The central theme may be death and dying but the whole premise is made palatable with a funny subplot about Baby wanting to meet her favorite Korean actor, Park Seo-joon who’s about to visit the Philippines for a special meet and greet.  Piolo Pascual, Joshua Garcia, Juan Karlos Labajo, and Belle Mariano play the siblings. 

In this interview, Garcia-Sampana takes you behind-the-scenes of making the film – her interest in directing the movie, her cast, and what genre does she want to do next?
