CAAM Presents: An exclusive Bay Area screening of Philippine film RAKENROL

GET READY TO RAK! CAAM Presents an exclusive Bay Area screening of critically acclaimed director Quark Henares’ latest film.

GET READY TO RAK! One Night Only! An exclusive Bay Area screening of critically acclaimed director Quark Henares’ latest film.

RAKENROL is an indie rock love story and comedic coming-of-age tale about the binding power of music. This Philippine feature-length film follows the adventures of Odie and his best friend Irene as they form a band and bring together a motley crew of characters—teenage deadbeat, ex-punk guitarist, and former child star. Proceeds from this event benefit two San Francisco-based arts organizations— BINDLESTIFF STUDIO and KULARTS.

RAKENROL chronicles the band’s journey as they try to make a place in the city’s indie scene and face off with samurai swindlers, narcissistic rock stars, pretentious artists, and bizarre music video auteurs, all in the name of rock and roll.

  •  I teach a class at USF, “Filipinos and Ethnic Media”  and yesterday was our last class.  I would like to see if my students can view this film tomorrow in lieu of a written exam, at a much discounted rate of $20.  I have 9 plus myself in the class, total 10.  I know its short notice, a day before the event.  We would be more interested in the viewing part rather than the after-party.  Please advise.  Sincerely, Prof. M.L. Mallare, Yuchengco Phil. Studies Program (209) 720-9390 or email at mfmallare@usfca.edu

  • Hi Prof. Mallare,

    I’m afraid we cannot accommodate your request.  Currently the event is sold-out and the theater will be at maximum capacity tonight.

    Best,
    Gary G.
