“So happy to see that An Inconvenient Love is the 9th most-streamed non-English film globally on Netflix for the period of Feb 20-Feb26, despite being on their platform for only 4 days.
He added, “I am so proud of this film and the team behind it! May this inspire us to create more stories for a global audience”.
Written by Enrico Santos and Daisy Cayanan, the film revolves around the story of young lovers Ayef (Belle) and Manny (Donny) who “agree to a casual relationship, but this convenient arrangement grows complicated as their romance reaches an expiration date”.

An Inconvenient Love is Donny and Belle’s (a.k.a. DonBelle), second film together following their hit debut movie Love Is Color Blind and series He’s Into Her.
