NDMstudios just celebrated its 25th year with the launch of their limited edition “Direku” commemorative figurine collectible at Le Verre Café & Bar in Sct. Torillo, QC.
Based on a viral hand-drawn online comic strip in 2011, “Direku” is NDMstudios very own IP Character.
“He’s a director who’s obssessed in finding his Ikigai,” Director Nijel de Mesa (President-CEO of NDMplus) shares in an interview.
“Highly excitable and always busy, he always tries helping people but then always end up comically unappreciated or at the short end of the stick.”
The figurine is definitely in short supply since only 500 copies of the figurine were made for sale.
Attended by famous personalities in the Entertainment industry (such as Arci Muñoz, Kim Rodriguez, Richard Quan, Robert Seña, Nico Locco, Anthony Ocampo, Direk Rahyan Carlos, Josh Yugen, Ynez Veneracion, Gene Padilla, Moymoy Palaboy, Chichirita, Arnold Reyes etc.), the event was also intended to feature NDMstudios’ milestone achievement for 2025: NDMplus.
DMplus is a premium global streaming platform exclusively made for NDMstudios enthusiasts. The platform was launched in Singapore last October and has been creating films and series non-stop.
Since their launch at the NDM Expo in Singapore, they have been collaborating with other international entertainment companies such as: Sony, AMC Networks’ Acorn TV, ALLBLK, HIDIVE, Shudder, Sundance Now, Crunchyroll, Tubi, Roku Channel, OUTtv, Rakuten Viki and many more.
Annette Gozon-Valdes, GMA Network’s Senior Vice President, during the event shares, “We’re here to show our support and appreciation to NDMstudios’ many creative collaborations with GMA and its talent management group, Sparkle.”
Other NDMstudios and NDMplus executives (Executive Vice President Ms. Jan Christine, Chief Legal Counsel Atty. Jiji Jorge, Board Member & Director Carlo Alvarez) were also present during the event.
The “Direku” figurine is set to be available in Japan as well during this Christmas season until early next year.
