Kimmy Dora: Ang Kiyemeng Prequel was one of the three movies that didn’t receive any award at the recently-held Metro Manila Film Festival Gabi ng Parangal. The other two were Pedro Calungsod: Batang Martir and Kaleidoscope World.
Among the three, however, it was only Spring Films, the movie outfit that produced Kimmy Dora, that publicly expressed disappointment with the results.
In an official statement, producers Piolo Pascual, Erickson Raymundo, Shayne Sarte and Joyce Bernal said their movie did not get the recognition it deserves. They are, however, grateful that moviegoers enjoy the movie and leave the theaters happy.
It was very unfortunate that Kimmy Dora Ang Kiyemeng Prequel and its lead actress, Eugene Domingo, did not get the right recognition due them.
Its director, Chris Martinez, was not even nominated based on the merits of the film.
Likewise, a lot of people from various sectors in the industry share our sentiment by means of their articles and blogs citing the film’s production excellence.
As producers, we feel what matters more now is that moviegoers enjoy the film and leave the theaters delighted and happy.
