Nag-fiesta ang mga bading sa mapangahas na pag-uulayaw nina Markki Stroem at Mike Liwag sa short film na Andrew & Brix, ang una sa anim na istorya ng Unlocked anthology na nilikha ni Direk Adolf Alix Jr.
In-upload ang nasabing short film ngayong Hulyo 9, Huwebes, sa gay-oriented online streaming service na Gagaoolala.
Kapwa walang saplot ang dalawang aktor sa eksena ng pagniniig, kung saan ipinahiwatig na nag-condom ang kani-kanyang karakter. Pwetmalu!
Agad-agad pinirata ang maselang eksena, at ikinalat ang video clip sa Twitter, Messenger, at Viber.
Ikinalungkot iyon nina Markki, Mike at Direk Adolf, na naka-chat namin via Messenger nitong Thursday night, July 9.
Pahayag ni Markki, “It is sad to see that content can easily be pirated and posted online.
"Fortunately, we can rely on people who are more interested in the story rather than the love scene.
"We have a strong LGBTQ love story and would love for people to support local."
Hinaing ni Mike, “I'm sad and dissapointed, kasi, for the benefit ito ng mga filmmakers na walang trabaho and naapektuhan ng pandemic, 'tapos ipa-pirate lang nila.
“Pinaghirapan namin yung short film under quarantine, tapos, ito yung gagawin nila? Respect for PH Film industry pls.”

Ibang klaseng BL series itong Unlocked.
Kung pa-sweet na para sa akin lang na wholesome ang palabas like Gameboys, ito ay more your type—mas mapangahas at for adults only.
Happy Birthday pala kay Mike Liwag!
Tinanong ko kung paano nila binuno ang shoot with the health protocols, lalo pa’t second day ng GCQ daw nila ginawa.
Sabi ni Mike, “Ayun nga po, pero kami lang naman ni Marks yung talagang nag-contact, and the whole prod, naka-safety precaution.
"At saka may safety protocols.
"Sa una, kinabahan kami ni Markki na wala naman tayong sakit, di ba? Okay, go, haha!”
Tinanong ko kung nag-all out at all the way sila ni Markki.
Ang sabi niya, “Hanggang butt exposure lang po. Kinakabahan lang ako, Sir, baka kasi ma-pirate, hehe.”
Sabi ko, aware naman sina Adolf about piracy, so I don’t know how it will affect him kung may pirated version.
May added value kayang behind-the-scenes?
Iyan ang magandang tanungin sa kanila, Tito Gorgy!!!

Kung kumalat ito online, hindi naman mabubulabog diyan ang sangkabaklaan.
Kung maghanap ka na ng mga ganoong mahahalay na eksena, may mas matindi pa riyan at mas katilam-tilam pa sa kanila.
Hindi na bago kay Markki ang ganoong eksena dahil ginawa na niyang maghubad sa Cinemalaya movie na Amor y Muerte (2013). Naghubad din siya sa dulang Hair (2017), di ba?
Kaya wala rin siyang takot mag-G string bikini sa Bench fashion show.
Mas exciting at mas nakakaintriga siguro kung medyo bata at bagong mukha ang mga bida sa short film.

Batid ni Direk Adolf, “Piracy is an unavoidable reality given that the series is available in an online platform.”
Ang kanyang panawagan, “We just hope that they will be able to see it in the proper venue where it was released so they can understand the context of the scene in the entire story rather than singling-out a part of the whole narrative.
“The commitment of the two actors for their roles I think enabled them to really invest their emotions on the narrative and made it quite appealing to the audience which made them a little too excited to share. I hope they watch it at GagaOOLala.”
Ang pahayag ni Jay Lin, may-ari ng Gagaoolala, “After putting so much effort in shooting diverse stories during this difficult times, it's sad to see how so much hard work can be gone because of piracy.
“We thank Markki for putting himself on the line and tell this topical story and support the LGBT community.
“We hope that all scenes, not just the love scenes, can be viewed within context to convey the dimensions of relationships during quarantine.”
