Official Synopsis
In 2009, Lex (Seth Fedelin)
discovers a dating app that inexplicably links him to Karen (Francine Diaz) in
2024. As their connection deepens, Karen asks Lex to help her change moments
from her past to prevent her parents’ separation. But every change brings
unintended consequences, reshaping their lives in unpredictable ways. As they
approach their final chance to fix everything, Lex and Karen must decide
whether their love can withstand the forces of time.
Filmmaker's Vision:
Parallel Journeys, One Destiny
Writer-director
Crisanto B. Aquino, winner of Best
Screenplay in MMFF 2019, shares the inspiration behind 'My Future You': While stuck in his apartment, a conversation with
a friend sparked the idea: “What if two
people, bored and lonely, connect through a random chat—only to discover they
live in different timelines?”
Direk
Cris describes the journey of creating the film as one of resilience and
patience. The project evolved and grew over the years. Finally, in 2024,
everything aligned for it to be brought to life with the emerging Kapamilya
love team.
He
reflects on FranSeth being part of this project, “May plano talaga ang Diyos sa lahat. Alam niya ang right timing.
Tiwala lang at patience. (God really has a plan for everything. He knows the
right timing. Just trust and have patience.)
"This movie taught me to
believe in my work, my worth, and my talent.”
This
rom-fam drama also showcases Aquino’s meticulous attention to detail in
aligning the two timelines. Working closely with production designer Ericson
Navarro and director of photography Jeyow Evangelista, Direk Cris ensured that
while 2009 and 2024 were distinct in tone and design, their visual parallels
reflected the characters’ shared journey toward love and purpose.

Together

greater height, building expectations and challenges for the two.
Director
Crisanto Aquino recalls being impressed by their professionalism and commitment
to their roles. “From our first table
read, I knew I had found my Karen and Lex. Their dedication and natural
connection brought the story to life. It’s their time, and they didn’t
disappoint.”
The
pair’s natural charm and “kilig” moments are sure to delight their fans while
staying humble to the emotional core of the film.
