On January 21, 2025, Seth Fedelin graced the year’s first Star Magic Spotlight press conference, celebrating a remarkable milestone in his career.
Held at Coffee Project, Wil Tower, Quezon City, Seth talked about his Breakthrough Performance award during 2024 MMFF Gabi ng Parangal for his portrayal of Lex in My Future You, an entry in the 50th Metro Manila Film Festival and one of the final films approved by the late Regal Films matriarch, Lily Monteverde.
When asked about his feelings about winning the Breakthrough Performance Award, Seth shared, “Yung award na ‘yun, hindi ko talaga siya inexpect. Hindi ako makapaniwala. Late reaction, siguro nung pag-uwi ko, saka ko naramdaman, saka ko hinawakan ‘yung trophy. Ganito pala ‘yung pakiramdam na mapansin ‘yung ginawa mo. Napansin ‘yung talento mo.”
The Metro Manila Film Festival entry marked the big-screen debut of FranSeth, with Seth sharing the spotlight alongside his on-screen partner Francine Diaz, solidifying their status as one of today’s most promising love teams.
Seth shared: “Bago dumating ang My Future You, lagi na kami magkausap ni Francine kung anong gagawin namin. Kung anong susunod na proyektong gagawin namin… Hindi kami nawawalan ng pag-asa ni Francine. Talagang naghintay kami hanggang dumating ang My Future You.”
“Tapos habang shinoshoot namin ito (My Future You), sinabi talaga namin na dito tayo makikita ng tao…” He added.
In addition to winning the Breakthrough Performance award, Seth also earned a nomination for Best Actor.
2025 is shaping up to be a special year for Seth and Francine as they are set to star in the upcoming series Nobody, alongside Gerald Anderson. This marks their fourth onscreen collaboration, following their work in Dirty Linen, Fractured, and My Future You.
When asked if he’s open to taking on solo projects without Francine Diaz, Seth shared, “Lagi namin itong pinag-uusapan ni Francine na at the end of the day, si Francine pumasok siya as Francine. Pumasok siya sa ABS-CBN, nagtrabaho siya ng una as Francine. Ako rin naman po as Seth. Masasabi ko na si Francine ay napaka supportive sa akin. 100% siya ang nagboboost ng pagiging ako, ng pagiging aktor ko… Ngayong natapos namin ang My Future You, kung okay kami na tumanggap (solo projects), masasabi ko na yes, suportado namin ang isa’t isa.”
Seth’s MMFF win is a significant milestone for him, serving as a testament to his talent as an actor. It affirms that he has much more depth and range to offer. It also signals the promising future of FranSeth, with their journey just beginning, and the promise of even greater performances to come from Seth.
