Production

Rekonek was directed by Jade Castro under Reality MM Studios. The film revolves around families dealing with an internet outage during the Christmas season – an idea conceptualized by Reality MM co-founder Erik Matti. [1] Castro was initially "non-committal" to the project and was not keen to work on a Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) film. He eventually committed to the film due to find a Christmas film as fitting for the MMFF, an event which traditionally starts on December 25. [2] The film was submitted as a script to the MMFF hence it was among the first four of eight entries announced in July 2025. [3]

The film also marks as lead actor Gerald Anderson's debut as a producer. [1] Part of the film was shot in Thailand. [4]

Release

Rekonek is set to be released on December 25, 2025, in cinemas in the Philippines as one of the official eight entries of the 2025 Metro Manila Film Festival. [5] It is the sole Christmas film in the film festival which kicks off on holiday. [1]
