<p>During one of the special screenings of Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) 2024 entry &quot;Uninvited&quot; at Gateway Cinema, producer Bryan Dy gladly granted the media an interview to discuss his film, which stars Star For All Seasons Vilma Santos.</p><p>When asked to react to Santos&#x27; performance in the film, Dy of Mentorque said, “Si Ate Vi, just to be honest, wala na siyang kailangang patunayan. I know there will always be pressure. But at the end of the day, I think whatever it is, hindi ba, Vilma Santos will always be Vilma Santos.”</p><p>Dy then explained why Santos was chosen for the role, saying, “Kung makikita niyo naman po iyong range na talagang ipinakita niyang acting dito, talaga naman pong mula po sa pent-up to outburst.”</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:822px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1735535246091image0 (3).jpeg" style="width:955px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="‘Uninvited’ actor Ron Angeles and producer Bryan Dy attend special screening at Gateway Cinema in Quezon City.

It is really heartwarming. Nakakataba po ng puso,&quot; he added. </p><p>Praising other cast members, Dy shared, “And kami nga, sabi ko nga, lahat kami pumunta rito, alam namin na it&#x27;s a competition. Nakita niyo naman po. Walang tapon lahat. Nakita niyo si Aga (Muhlach). Nakita niyo si Nadine (Lustre). Nakita nyo po lahat ng cast.”</p><p>For the MMFF&#x27;s 50th anniversary, the hands-on producer is honored to collaborate with filmmaker Dan Villegas, who also co-produced the suspense drama movie.</p><p>“Talagang ganoon po kagaling si Dan Villegas. Lalo na kapag naka-tamdem niya si Antoinette (Jadaone) at naka-tandem pa si Irene (Villamor),” he told the media. </p><p>The entertainment media also spoke with Ron Angeles, one of the film&#x27;s actors and Dy&#x27;s talent.</p><p>Angeles also appeared in the Kapamilya series &quot;Pamilya Sagrado,&quot; which starred Piolo Pascual as the lead. They were also involved in last year&#x27;s MMFF entry, &quot;Mallari.&quot;</p><p>According to Angeles, &quot;Uninvited&quot; is his biggest break yet, after sharing the screen with Lustre as her lover in the Mentorque film. “As of the moment po, puwede ko po siyang sabihin na biggest break ko ito sa film. Hoping po ako na sana next year ay magkaroon pa tayo ng mas malalaki at mas magagandang mga proyekto.&quot;</p><p>He then thanked his manager, expressing, “Lagi ko nga pong sinasabi na may kasama talagang suwerte sa ginagawa ko po. Nagpapasalamat po ako sa Mentorque at sa manager kong si Sir Bryan [para] sa opportunity na ibinibigay niya po sa akin. Sa rami ng mga nag-aartista, sa rami ng mga baguhan, sa rami ng mga beterano, hindi po lahat magkakakaroon ng ganoong kalaking oportunidad.”</p><p>“Uninvited” also stars RK Bagatsing, Mylene Dizon, Lotlot de Leon, Gabby Padilla, Elijah Canlas, Ketchup Eusebio, Gio Alvarez, Cholo Barretto, Ron, and Tirso Cruz III.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>RELATED VIDEOS:</strong></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4a1jYGe29f8?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1zvPilQUeRU?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div>
