Written and directed by Chris Martinez (an award-winning former Creative Director and TV commercial director) under the creative supervision of Publicis Manila ECD Marlon Rivera, 100 centers on the last three months of a cancer-stricken executive with a list of things to do before she dies. In the words of the producers, "Her list of tasks, mostly closures and practical undertakings, expands to the worldly and the spiritual as people close to her share her last days. The film examines the betrayal of the body, celebrates the senses and contemplates the end of life and how to live it." Or, as the producers put it in their unofficial part of their e-mail, "It’s about death, but the treatment isn’t scary or morbid, but thought-provoking. Promise!"
