In an interview with Star Magic News, Francine shared how she felt after hearing the news that their film will be included in BiFan this year.

Sobra akong na-shock kasi never ko in-expect na mangyayari ‘yon sa akin. Sobrang saya ko lang po na nangyari sa akin ito, actually sa amin nina Noel and nina Kuya Francis Magundayao,” she said.

Hindi ko po talaga in-expect or nakita or in-imagine na talagang magiging international siya, [na] mapapasama siya sa BiFan, grabe… Akala ko nanaginip ako kaya noong nakita ko ang message na ‘yon kinukurot ko ang sarili ko. ‘Okay, masakit siya, so totoo nga.’

Francine also said that whether their film brings home an award or not, she’s just happy that it was chosen to be part of the annual international film festival.

Kung ano man ang manalong movie, ang mahalaga sa akin ay napasama kami roon sa BiFan. Napakalaking bagay na ‘yon for me, for us, sa amin nina Noel and Kuya Francis,” she said.

“Tenement 66” will also be available on the streaming app iWantTFC starting July 9, 2021.
