Our friend Patricio Ginelsa's Pinoy-powered home-made indie cult film LUMPIA is celebrating its 10th anniversary. To celebrate, they're releasing a newly remastered and remixed DVD, out this week.
Set at the fictional late-1990s Fogtown High School, LUMPIA is a defiantly low-budget action comedy tale of misfits, bullies, wayward youth, teenage longing and deep-friend justice. Seven years in the making, Variety calls LUMPIA "a youth project that got delightfully out of hand."
I've got some free DVDs to give away. Want one? Scroll down all the way to the bottom for details.
First, here are some more details about the DVD:
Also, if you happen to be in Southern California, you're invited to a LUMPIA 10th Anniversary DVD Release & Kickstarter Celebration Party, going down this Wednesday, December 11 in Cerritos. Here's some more info about the event:The ultimate home made movie returns in this definitive 10th anniversary edition. LUMPIA takes you back to the late-90's when tension is at an all-time high in Fogtown High School. James (Francis Custodio) and his misfit pack of friends do their best to stand up to Tyrone (Edward Baon) and his crew of thugs who have invented a new fad of (gulp!) F.O.B. bashing! But only one hero stands in their way... a silent avenger (Carlos Baon) who delivers justice one deep-fried LUMPIA at a time! With James falling for his classmate Kelly (Elizabeth Mendoza), will such a fighter be enough to ward off the one enemy that threatens to obliterate all? Remastered and remixed, LUMPIA sounds and looks MORE delicious than ever! Don't miss out on this home-made cult sensation and experience why LUMPIA is the 'youth project that got delightfully out of hand' (Variety)!
