Binigyan ng standing ovation ang Japanese film na Renoir sa Cannes. Ito ay idinirehe ni Chie Hayakawa na isa sa masuwerteng napili bilang bahagi ng main competition para sa Palme d’Or sa 78th Cannes Film Festival ngayong 2025.
Kasama nina Sylvia at Alemberg bilang co-producer ng pelikula sina Eiko Mizuno Gray, Jason Gray, Christophe Bruncher, at Yulia Evina Bhara. Nakipagsanib-puwersa ang Nathan Studios sa iba’t ibang production companies mula sa Japan, France, Singapore, at Indonesia para sa pelikulang Renoir.
Sa Facebook page ibinahagi ni Sylvia ang isang madamdaming mensahe kasama ang mga litrato nila sa red carpet ng Cannes kasama ang asawang si Art Atayde.
Tunay na nakaka-proud ang tagumpay na nakamit ng award-winning actress at ng kanilang Nathan Studios sa napakainit na pagtanggap ng manonood sa kanilang pelikula mula sa Cannes. Maituturing na isang Pinoy pride ang pagrampa ni Sylvia bilang movie producer suot ang modern black terno.
“All the hard work, quiet perseverance, and countless sacrifices… they all led to this moment.
“After three years of coming back and forth to Cannes as a producer,
finally, one of the films co-produced by Nathan Studios has been selected
as part of the 2025 Cannes Main Competition slate.
“It’s such an honor to be part of this film—a beautiful collaboration between Japan’s Happinet Studios, France’s Ici et Là Productions, Singapore’s Akanga Film Asia, Indonesia’s Kawan Kawan Media, and from the Philippines, Daluyong Studios and our very own Nathan Studios. Grateful as well to Goodfellas for handling international sales.
“And today, we walked the red carpet here in Cannes… humbled, overwhelmed, and deeply thankful that our film was chosen to be part of the Main Competition.
“A heartfelt thank you to @mister_angst of Daluyong Studios—this wouldn’t have been possible without you. Your trust, vision, and generosity brought us here, and for that, Nathan Studios will always be grateful. Love you Rommie. Alem Berg Ang #forevergrateful.
“#ThankuLORD!” pagbabahagi ni Sylvia.

Sinabi rin ni Sylvia na hindi halos siya makapaniwala na napili ang Renoir bilang parte ng 202 Cannes competition slate. “I’m still in disbelief and absolutely ecstatic that Renoir (directed by Chie Hayakawa, and co-produced with Eiko Mizuno Gray and Jason Gray, Christophe Bruncher, Yulia Evina Bhara, and Alemberg Ang) was selected as part of the 2025 Cannes competition slate.
“This is a collaboration between Japan’s Happinet Studios, France’s Ici et Là Productions, Singapore’s Akanga Film Asia, Indonesia’s Kawan Kawan Media, and of course, the Philippines’ very own Daluyong Studio and Nathan Studios. International sales by Goodfellas.”
