The P-Pop kings open up about tour setbacks and career challenges on new documentary film
The eagerly awaited movie PAGTATAG! from SB19! Today is THE DOCUMENTARY’s national theatrical premiere!
The highly anticipated documentary offers an intimate glimpse at the group’s experiences both individually and collectively while touring and attempting to manage their rise to international pop prominence while dealing with a debilitating fear of pressure and anxiety.
The concert documentary not only documents the P-Pop phenomenon’s journey as they “move forward to a new era of music, career, and emancipation,” but it also reveals never unseen moments that challenge their tenacity and dedication.
“Part of what makes the film even more special is that it doesn’t sugar-coat the learnings and experiences that we’ve endured during the entire era of the PAGTATAG! tour and album release,” SB19 shares in a press statement. “The year-long run was filled with multiple setbacks that added mental and emotional distress. But as the title explains it best, the documentary will show how we bounced back from the adversities in life and career, and how we managed to mount a series of shows despite going through a lot of internal and collective struggles. We hope that through this movie, we will be able to inspire our A’TIN to become stronger and more resilient when they face a similar ordeal in a not-so-distant future.”
SB19’s PABLO, who currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of 1Z Entertainment, emphasized that they’ve always thought about producing a documentary that captures the story behind the stage and the little moments that define the human aspects of mounting a tour of this scale and ambition.
“We’re grateful to First Light Studios and Jed Regala for helping us turn our vision into a reality,” PABLO reveals. “We’re lucky to have a team that understands the power of collaboration.”
The exclusive screenings will take place from August 28 to September 1 in cinemas nationwide.
