In 2011, Scenema began producing feature films in partnership with Viva Films with its Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) entry Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story,[2] which won 11 of the festival's awards including Best Picture.[3] The company's second feature film, El Presidente, was also submitted the next year as an entry to the MMFF,[4] where it won 8 awards including Second Best Picture.[5] Its last MMFF entry, Muslim Magnum .357, is a remake of a Fernando Poe Jr. film and was released in 2014.[6][7]
Scenema has encountered controversy over the years. Tikoy Aguiluz, the director of Manila Kingpin, had his name removed from the film due to producers reediting the film without his permission.[8][9] A planned feature film based on the Mamasapano clash in January 2015 was announced in February by actor E.R. Ejercito,[10][11] though it entered development hell after receiving criticism for its potential to give a disrespectful treatment of the event.[12][13][14][15] By 2021, Scenema is no longer involved with the film as a production company.[16]
