COLMA: THE MUSICAL takes the music of H.P. Mendoza and weaves it into a fresh personal look into the ups and downs of early adulthood. Best pals Rodel, Billy, and Maribel find themselves in a state of limbo; fresh out of high school, they are just beginning to explore a new world of part-time mall jobs and crashing college parties. As 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.

COLMA: THE MUSICAL has been awarded the Special Jury Prize at the San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival and the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival and has been winning the hearts of everyone who has seen it!
