Colma: The Musical Richard Wong, US, 2006 9:30 pm

The reviews are in: Colma is the ultimate proof that passion and talent matter more to a film than loads of money! This indie film will rekindle your faith in cinema and the musical genre. In the small suburban nowheresville town of Colma (where the dead outnumber the living 1,000 to 1), three bored friends fresh out of high school tackle the age-old question: “Now what?” Boasting 13 toe-tapping rock musical numbers by H.P. Mendoza, fans on the Internet Movie Database are already declaring this “the best movie ever!” And the critics agree: “Genius!” (gay.com) “Irresistible coming of age charmer.” (Variety) “A giddy, unexpected pleasure: There is more wit, energy and imagination in any one frame … than in an entire decade’s worth of lame Hollywood attempts to revivify the genre.” (LA Weekly)  Video, 119 min.
