Judy Ann Santos is set to star in “Aid,” a political drama directed by Philippine filmmaker Brillante Mendoza. Variety and Inquirer.net report that the film also features French actresses Jeanne Balibar and Stacy Martin. The project is being presented to international partners at the Cannes Film Market. Production involvement includes Fire & Ice Media, along with France’s Ghost City Films and the Netherlands’ Human Films, which are described as delegate producers in reporting. According to the available summaries, “Aid” follows Rudy Dela Cruz, portrayed by Santos, who leads a non-governmental organization focused on protecting Aeta children. The story develops as Rudy confronts the challenges tied to her work. Both outlets frame the announcements as an international co-production supported by multiple companies across the Philippines, France, and the Netherlands, with efforts underway to advance the project among overseas partners ahead of further production and release plans.
