Busy with promotions for their Metro Manila Film Festival entry Shake, Rattle, and Roll: Evil Origins, Seth Fedelin admitted he was happy to support his love team partner Francine Diaz in her first horror movie project. The couple also worked together on the MMFF entry last year My Future You which was met with many positive reviews.
“Well, andiyan lang ako sa tabi niya. Alam niya yung ginagawa niya, sesegundo lang ako. Suportahan o siya kung ano yung gagawin niya. At saka lagi ko siyang binibilhan ng pagkain!” Seth shared with PUSH ABS-CBN in an exclusive interview during the MMFF Parade of Stars event.
Francine also shared that she would be open to doing more horror film projects in the future after shooting this film. “Why not? Masaya siya. Na-enjoy namin, honestly ang paggawa ng Shake, Rattle, and Roll. Kahit na medyo nagkaroon ng problem sa schedule, masaya po siya. Nakakataba ng puso and I don’t know what’s the word eh pero masaya. Puwedeng ulitin!”

The love team, who is more popularly referred to as FranSeth by their fandom, also talked about the acting challenge in Shake, Rattle, and Roll that was unlike their previous projects. “Pinag-uusapan namin yung pinaka-challenging, ayaw kasi namin lagyan ng masyado ng kilig ito dahil horror ito. Hindi ko siya nakikitang ganun so yun din yung kumbaga naging conscious kami na limitahan natin yung merong side natin na may kilig o ano. Mas into horror tayo dito. Yun naman yung sinabi ng script. Yun naman yung sinasabi ng directors namin so yun lang yung medyo trinabaho namin,” he explained.
The Shake, Rattle, and Roll stars also revealed getting minor injuries while shooting their episode, which involves them doing a lot of physical scenes. “Meron ako (sugat) actually. Medyo naging collection namin siya while doing the film (laughs) . Yung mga pasa kada uuwi,” Francine added.

Having been busy with promotions for their MMFF entry since last month, Francine revealed that she and Seth have actually already exchanged Christmas gifts even before December 25. “What’s the best material gift I’ve received? Well, hindi ako yung type na mahilig sa material na regalo talaga. Pero ngayon kasi yung gusto kong material gift, nakuha ko na. Nabigay na niya yung Christmas gift niya sa akin (laughs). Yung Skull Panda na para siyang snow globe. So yeah, I got it na. Yun yung best material na Christmas gift from my point of view. Nasa kuwarto na siya,” she told PUSH ABS-CBN.
As an eyewear collector, Seth said he was happy with the shades that Francine got for him this year. She explains why they both already know what is the best gift to make each other happy. “Parang alam naman namin yun sa isa’t isa. Kasi siya hilig niya shades, ako parang sa mga ganung bagay, or makeup,” Francine said.
