Interesting facts

Kampon, stylized as (K)ampon, is a 2023 Philippine horror film by Quantum Films starring Beauty Gonzalez and Derek Ramsay.

Production

Kampon was produced under Quantum Films with

Kampon was a submission for the Metro Manila Film Festival as early as for the 2019 edition. The original lead actors were Kris Aquino and Derek Ramsay. However Ramsay was unavailable due to prior commitments with a television series with GMA Network. Ramsay was replaced by Gabby Concepcion as the male lead but production was not able to be completed in time. Consequentially Kampon was disqualified as an entry for the 2019 festival.

Kampon was re-submitted as a script entry for the 2023 edition. Ramsay is now available for the film project, with Beauty Gonzalez as his on-screen partner. This marks as Ramsay's return to acting who has been on hiatus.

According to Alonso, it took four years to produce the film. He said that it also "made use of storyboards to plan all of its scenes, which in the Philippines is more typically used by advertising agencies." It resulted to "more shots being made per sequence; to up to 36 shots per sequence and surpass the average of six shots per sequence in typical romance, drama, and comedy films", he added.

Principal photography was finished by September 21, 2023.
