Production

Tililing was originally a theater play entitled Turnilyo written also by Darryl Yap in 2009. The play was first performed at the Subic Bay Arts Center in 2010. By 2020, the film is already ready to be theatrically released but this plan was hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]

Marketing
Portion of the original poster which was subject to controversy due to being perceived as perpetuating stigma and negative stereotypes related to mental health.

The initial film poster in early 2021 for Tililing featuring the characters making funny faces drew negative reception.[5][6] The Commission on Human Rights believed that the poster promotes stigma and negative stereotypes of people experiencing mental health issues.[7] The Psychological Association of the Philippines released a statement urging for responsible portrayal of mental health in media.[8]Tililing was perceived to be a film made at the expense of people experiencing mental health issues but director Daryll Yap assured that the production team is "together" with mental health advocates when they made the film.[5][6] A new film poster was later released.[9]

Release

The film was released via streaming in Vivamax and had a limited release on March 5, 2021.[10]
