Interesting facts

Class of 2018 is a 2018 Filipino teen suspense–thriller film directed by Charliebebs Gohetia. It stars Sharlene San Pedro and Nash Aguas. The film was produced and distributed by T-Rex Entertainment. It premiered in the Philippines on November 7, 2018.

Production

T-Rex Entertainment, an independent Filipino production company which started in late 2015, began producing Class of 2018 during the first half of 2018. The project was headed by its executive producer Rex Tiri, who had produced films such as dark comedy Patay na si Hesus in 2016 and comedy-drama musical Deadma Walking in 2017.

The film is the eighth full-length film by filmmaker Charliebebs "Bebs" Gohetia, who had recently directed Bagyong Beverlynn. He described the film as a "survival-of-the-fittest" movie. He stated: "I think what makes it special is it is kind of a reinvention of the (suspense-thriller) genre". It deals with a cross-genre theme as it involves suspense, drama, romance, and situational comedy.

Class of 2018 marks the first film of Aguas and San Pedro as lead actors as well as their first film together as a love team. They were part of the original cast of the sketch comedy show Goin' Bulilit when they were children, together with Fulgar, Navato, and Celis. They were first introduced as cast of the film during its story conference held at Limbaga 77 Cafe in Quezon City on May 22.

According to Aguas, their team-up in the film can be considered a fulfilment of their fans' wishes. Since entering the entertainment industry starting from Star Circle Quest back in 2004, NashLene fans (derived from their names: Nash and Sharlene) have already been supporting them as a pair. Aguas mentioned that despite them not being introduced as an official love team, their fans have always been there to support them.

San Pedro was surprised to have been given the lead role, as it had been a while since she was given an acting role. Her drama episode in Maalaala Mo Kaya (for which she received the "Best Single Performance by an Actress" nomination at the 32nd PMPC Star Awards for Television) was her most recent work. She was a regular video jockey in MYX during this time.
