Rock 'n' Fucking Roll For Beginners

We are a ragtag bunch of bandidos. The Strangeness are here to save rock and roll. The Strangeness will have a lot of fun along the way whether they succeed or not. The Strangeness is a lo-fi, lo-budge garage punk outfit from Manila. Collectively, they also have better music taste than you. The Strangeness is also the name of a low-budget horror film that none of the members have seen as of yet. Fuck you, the name’s rad as fuck.

From Manila to Tumblr with Love: What Isn’t There

While at Sundance this year, we were strolling the streets of Park City with our pal Te’devan when we ran into Marie Jamora and Ramon De Veyra. Turns out they had their own film, What Isn’t There (Ang Nawawala), over at Slamdance. In a rather amazing coincidence, it turns out their movie — set in their hometown of Manila — actually features one character gifting another with a Tumblr in a crucial scene. So of course, we had to sit them down and hear all about it.

What Isn’t There focuses on Gibson, a mute teenager who lost his twin brother, the girl who tries to draw him out of his shell, and the family, romance, comedy, and music that surround them both. It’s sweet without feeling trivial, and serious without being ponderous. Marie and Ramon tell us how it all came about and how they put it together in this interview. And if you’re in the neighborhood, you can check out the movie March 24 at the Southeast Asian Film Festival in Singapore.

Yep. Marie got that right. We all kinda met on Tumblr three years ago. Ahhhh, good old days...
