Singing In Graveyards

 

Pepe, a 68 year old impersonator of a Filipino rock legend, lives alone on the borders of reality, imagination and mysticism. One day, he’s finally given the chance to open for the rock legend’s concert but he must do something neither of them has done before – write a love song.

Bradley Liew’s debut feature film starring Filipino rock legend, Pepe Smith.
