Sunshine is a 2024 Philippine coming-of-age sports drama film written and directed by Antoinette Jadaone. Starring Maris Racal in the title role, along with Elijah Canlas, Xyriel Manabat, Jennica Garcia, Annika Co, and Meryll Soriano, the film follows a young gymnast who finds out she is pregnant on the week of the national tryouts.

Production

Antoinette Jadaone began conceiving the film in 2020 after watching Jojo Rabbit, in which she noted the idea of the titular character imagining a fictitious adaptation of Adolf Hitler into life. As part of her research, Jadaone cited the presence of abortifacients being sold next to religious items around Quiapo Church, a Catholic shrine in Manila.

As part of her role as a gymnast, Racal trained with athletes and coaches from the Gymnastics Association of the Philippines to perform several stunts. Production was nearly called off due to high costs, estimated at ₱500,000 (US$10,152.28) until the Film Development Council of the Philippines offered a grant, which was followed by other production companies stepping in.
