As a passionate advocate for representation and diversity in media, I couldn’t be more thrilled about the acquisition of ‘Nurse Unseen’ by Abramorama! This film, which shines a light on the heroic efforts of Filipino nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic, is a testament to the resilience and dedication of our healthcare workers. I’m particularly excited about Abramorama’s commitment to bringing this vital story to both Filipino and non-Filipino audiences worldwide, as it not only provides a shared, meaningful experience but also empowers cinemas to engage a broader, more diverse consumer base.
Abramorama Acquires Oscar Qualifying Documentary ‘Nurse Unseen‘
I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve secured the worldwide distribution rights for theatrical screenings and direct-to-audience platforms for the award-worthy documentary feature, ‘Nurse Unseen’, produced by Michele Josue.
The film ‘Nurse Unseen’ was created by Josue, Carlo Velayo, and Joe Arciaga, with Jhett Tolentino and Jo Koy holding the roles of executive producers. This documentary delves into the accounts of Filipino nurses who bravely served on the frontlines during the COVID-19 pandemic, amidst a surge in anti-Asian hostility.
As a cinema enthusiast, I’m overjoyed to express that ‘Nurse Unseen’ has been an incredible journey of passion for our community, particularly our extraordinary nurses. It gives me immense pleasure to announce that we are now joining forces with Abramorama, enabling us to share this crucial and significant film with a broader global audience.
Abramorama’s president and international distribution head Evan Saxon expressed great enthusiasm about collaborating with Michele Josue, Carlo Velayo, Jhett Tolentino, and Jo Koy to share the film ‘Nurse Unseen’ with audiences worldwide, both Filipino and non-Filipino. The success of their recent film ‘Hello, Love, Again’, which became the highest-grossing Filipino film ever, surpassing many Hollywood studio releases, demonstrates a strong appetite for Filipino cinema among moviegoers. These culturally rich stories offer a shared, meaningful experience to audiences and help cinemas reach and connect with a wider, more diverse audience base.
Abramorama plans to expand the theatrical release of ‘Nurse Unseen’ in more cities across the U.S., and later, organize screenings in various countries worldwide.

Nowlan joined the ICG as a business representative for the Eastern Region in April 2019.
