Interesting facts
Big Night! is a 2021 Philippine black comedy film written and directed by Jun Robles Lana.
Production
Big Night! was directed by Jun Robles Lana and is a co-production of Cignal Entertainment, The IdeaFirst Company, Octobertrain Films, and Quantum Films.
Lana decided to use the war on drugs initiated by President Rodrigo Duterte as the setting of his film.
Principal photography of Big Night! took place from January 2020 to mid-2020. Community quarantine measures were imposed as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic at the middle of the filming, thus part of the film had to be made under a lock-in set-up. Among the filming locations was the Quezon Institute.
Christian Bables said that someone helped him with the Cebuano-language dialogue in Big Night!, but he no longer required their assistance by the second day of filming. He attributes his ease with the language to his upbringing, as he was raised by a Bisaya mother.
