Upstream.ph is giving Filipinos another reason to enjoy cinema at the comforts of their home, as it launches the trailer of their upcoming release, Runaway (#RunawayUpstream).

The film is the latest Upstream Original movie, which continues the surge of fresh and exciting releases to be showcased worldwide.


The debut film of Miss Universe bet Maureen Wroblewitz, which co-stars seasoned leading man known for risqué blockbusters, Kit Thompson, will premiere to the global Filipino audience on Sept. 3.

Wroblewitz's star turn as the lead, takes the supermodel's career to a whole new level delving into the world of acting.

The film centers around a bright young girl named Hannah, who escapes her sheltered life in Manila for a picturesque adventure in New Zealand. There, she stumbles upon a mysterious yet charming stranger named Ben, whose only desire is to go back home to the Philippines. The movie puts a spotlight on this generation's craving for living their best life, even in borrowed time.

On Instagram, Maureen announced the release of the film's trailer:

"i’ve been so excited to announce this and the day has finally come with just a few months of Tagalog classes and no acting workshop, I have embarked on this journey and what a beautiful journey it was. I am grateful to @realityentertainment @upstream.ph, Sir Dondon Monteverde @dondonmonteverde and Direk Katski Flores for this opportunity and the trust! I hope you all enjoy watching this movie that we shot in breathtaking New Zealand.

"I did some very crazy activities despite my fear of heights. Thank you to @kitthompson for annoying me most of the time jkkkk but thank you for being a great first onscreen partner! I feel blessed to have worked with such an incredible and talented team. Thank you everyone involved!! Even though it could get exhausting, I’m glad we were able to have fun! @debrabernales my fellow cat lady, I won’t ever forget our inside jokes. Without you, I wouldn’t have gotten through this! Let’s get this Wroblewitz, which was our word for ‘rolling’ lol @itkenbe you deserve a special shoutout as well!!"

A surprise special announcement for fans and press will be made by Maureen Wroblewitz and Kit Thompson on their own Instagram accounts @mauwrob and @kitthompson as a way to interact and promote the upcoming events such as Early Bird Promos, Giveaways, and an exciting Watch Party on August 27.
