Ever been to Colma?
It's that little town right next
to San Francisco. No? Well, its
claim to fame is that the dead
outnumber the living 1500 to 1
(cause of its cemeteries, don't
get any crazy ideas). But it's
really just like any other sleepy
town that rests in the shadow of
a huge progressive city - New York's
got New Jersey, Philly's got Cherry
Hill, San Francisco's got Colma,
the list goes on and on. And in
these towns, there are kids, and
one day, these kids must grow up
- or at least start to.
Best pals Rodel, Billy,
and Maribel live in Colma and they
love it! (not really). After graduating
from high school the trio finds themselves
in a state of limbo; fresh out of
high school, they are just beginning
to explore a new unstructured world.
Like most kids, they are on the brink
of self-discovery, but aren't in
much of a rush. What is the rush,
anyway? They are having too much
fun doing nothing or crashing college
parties. But when newfound revelations
and romances challenge their relationships
with one another and their parents,
the trio must assess what to hold
onto, and how to best follow their
dreams.
Oh, there's one more
thing - they sing. Colma: The Musical
boasts 13 musical numbers featuring
all original music by H.P. Mendoza
and is Richard Wong’s feature
directorial debut. It has been awarded
the Special Jury Prize at the San
Francisco International Asian American
Film Festival, Los Angeles Asian
Pacific Film Festival and San Diego
Asian Film Festival. It was honored
with nominations for the Gotham Award
("Best Film Not in a Theater
Near You") and the Independent
Spirit Award ("Someone To Watch
Award").
