Curiosità

Kontrabida Academy is a 2025 Philippine comedy film written and directed by Chris Martinez.

Production

Netflix announced the project on January 31, 2025. Early promotional photos showed the lead actresses in formal dresses with the tagline, "Bida or kontrabida, you decide." The film was written and directed by Chris Martinez. This marked a collaboration between Martinez and Domingo, who had previously worked together on the Kimmy Dora series and Ang Babae sa Septic Tank. The film has a runtime of one hour and 48 minutes.

Eugene Domingo stated that the film highlights the contributions of "kontrabidas" (villains) to the industry. She noted that Filipino audiences might be evolving to root for characters who are assertive rather than just underdogs. To prepare for her role, Barbie Forteza used lessons she learned from an online acting masterclass she took with Cherie Gil during the COVID-19 pandemic.
