How ‘On the Job’ Franchise Went From Venice Competition Slot to HBO Series

, as well as divide this film, and his previous one, “On the Job,” into one six-part series for HBO.

This innovative strategy of creating a series out of a long film happened, thanks to the pandemic, with the question looming of how to release a film in a country where theaters are closed. Not to mention recouping costs. Said Monteverde at the morning panel: “Over a year ago, we were sitting discussing how we were going to show the film with theaters still closed. We didn’t know if it would ever be shown and how long the pandemic was going to last. Now it’s not just going to be shown in the cinema and on HBO. It’s going to be shown in something as prestigious as Venice. We hope international audiences will enjoy the film.

Matti’s “On the Job” premiered at the Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes in 2013. Although audiences in the Philippines largely ignored it, he said: “It became a break-out hit once Netflix bought it for the U.S., and then the downloads started in the Philippines.”
