'UNTOLD' PARTNERS WITH ABS-CBN INT'L AND TFC FOR WORLDWIDE PREMIERE

Actress Jodi Sta. Maria and director Derick Cabrido first worked together in 2018 when they did the horror-drama, "Clarita," based on the alleged possession of a real-life lady back in the 1950s.

"Clarita" was a challenging and difficult project," disclosed Jodi. "After that, I told myself, iiwan ko na ang horror. But here I am again seven years later. When I heard the story of 'Untold' being pitched, I was interested right away, although I didn't say yes readily.

"My relationship with direk Derick is based on trust. I super trust him as my director. He's very collaborative, always open to suggestions and new insights coming from me or his other actors.

"I love his honesty. When he wants to do something in one scene, he will not think twice to do it in a particular way, this way or that way. That's why I super trust him."

Regal Films executive vice president Keith Monteverde is pleased with the media support given to "Untold," now showing in local theaters. He announced that Regal Films has partnered with ABS-CBN International and The Filipino Channel (TFC) for the worldwide premiere of "Untold" this May.
