Netflix on Wednesday unveiled the official trailer for "My Amanda", a film that claims to challenge the dynamics of opposite sex friendships in a world long dominated by bestfriends-turned-lovers film tropes. 

In her directorial debut, veteran actress Alessandra de Rossi plays the role of titular character Amanda, long-time female bestfriend of TJ, played by Piolo Pascual who co-produced the film.

"My Amanda" is de Rossi's gift to her good friend Pascual,  who, as executive producer of independent film firm Spring Films, "turned her life " around with its production of "Kita Kita".

The 2017 film which starred de Rossi opposite comedian and actor Empoy Marquez holds the record of being the highest-grossing Philippine independent film.
