COLMA: THE MUSICAL world premiered at the 2006 San Francisco
International Asian American Film Festival and won the Special Jury
Award. Catchy melodies, thoughtfully funny lyrics, and appealing
teenage protagonists bring South SF’s cemetery town to life in this
highly original musical about… Colma! Three best friends sing, dance
and dream their way through a city where the dead outnumber the living.

The film, directed by Richard Wong and featuring H.P. Mendoza, who
wrote the script and music, went on to become a favorite on the
festival circuit and earned IFP Gotham Award and Independent Spirit
Award nominations.

Missed it at the SFIAAFF? Don't miss the chance to catch what critics
are calling "[a] giddy, unexpected pleasure" (LA Weekly) and "one of
the most entertaining films we've seen in a long time" (SFist).

If you've seen it once, come see the new theatrical version, re-edited
by Oscar winning editor Lisa Fruchtman.

I've seen this movie before on the festival circuit before, really great, honest, and refreshing.

Hey another heads up for this gay Asian American film/musical and a really great one to support at that:

It's currently playing Embarcadero Center Cinema 1 Embarcadero Center.

Starting July 6th at The Quad 34 W 13th Street New York City for those of you there.

It's a really a sweet indie film with a heart and a great mark in Asian American cinema. Little films like these made by Asian Americans are really the pumping heart of combating stereotypes and Asian Am art. Even though the film has a lot of gay themes and stars two Filipinos and a Latino - I think the overriding theme of this movie is about growing up, it struck a resonant chord with me when I saw it and anyone whose spent time in the Bay Area will enjoy all the nice little jokes.
