| | Joyce Bernal on Kimmy Dora: 'Parang nalulunod ako sa pressure' Author: Fionna Acaba Direk Joyce Bernal devoted her full attention, time and effort in directing the movie Kimmy Dora: Ang Kambal sa Kyeme. "We pushed everyone to the limit kasi may time constraints. Kapag napanood mo yung pelikula (you will say) ' Ay sana nagawa ko pa ng ganun.' Pero ngayon napag-desisyunan namin na hindi kami gagawa ng ibang pelikula para yung focus nandun, yung time nandun." Direk Joyce admits that directing Kimmy Dora put a different kind of pressure on her. " Hindi ako na-pressure ng ganito sa ibang pelikula. Nung nakita ko na ng buo yung pelikula (I realized) ' Ay grabe pala yung binigay na effort ni Uge (Eugene Domingo).' Sa totoo lang, na-over budget ako. Pero grabe yung suporta na nagtiwala sila sakin. Gusto ko siyang kumita at ma-appreciate ng tao para din sa mga taong yun, si Uge, yung mga kasamahan ko, yung mga investors namin." Kimmy Dora is considerably a new venture for her because not only did she direct the film, she is also one of the producers for the production firm, Spring Films. " Yung Spring Films, production po yan, kami yung nagpapatakbo, may investors, si Piolo Pascual po yung pinakamalaki. Talent fee ko lang po yung share ko, tsaka kaluluwa," Direk Joyce shares with a laugh. According to Direk Joyce, Kimmy Dora movie was inspired by the love and friendship around it. " Maraming mga tumulong para dito. Kaibigan ni Uge, kaibigan ko, kaibigan ni Piolo. Si Paolo Contis, Mark Bautista, Christian Bautista, Erik Santos, Marvin Agustin, Regine Velasquez, Rufa Mae Quinto. TY (thank you) po lahat yun. As in bumabagyo pa po nung nag-shoot kami." As her co-producer, Direk Joyce describes Piolo as someone who stays outside the circle in order to maintain objective judgment in assessing the movie. " Si Piolo, since nung first day namin, meron kaming line na ' M agtipid kayo.' Meron nga kaming personal joke. Kasi minsan nagkakayayaan manood ng sine. Sabi niya, 'O, nasan ka na?' Sagot ko, 'Andito pa ko, nagtitipid pa ko.' Very critical siya. Kasi dapat ang pagiging critical hindi mo dapat nalalaman kung anong nangyayari sa set, you'll criticize yung pelikula base sa napanood mo. Dapat wala kang pakialam. Ganun si Piolo." She also shares that their team is already thinking about future projects they want to work on. " Meron na siyang tatlong iniisip na gawin namin. Of course, we want a follow-up with Uge, then a love story, then meron isa na bata ang lead. Wala pang artista pero ang usapan namin hindi ako magdi-direct, producer lang ako. Kasi ayaw din naman namin na masabing we only produce for ourselves. We're open talaga for everyone, director na bago, director na may magandang material." Source: ABS-CBN Interactive |
