The trailer for the new documentary feature “Eraserheads: Combo on the Run” will have its world premiere on July 26 at the San Diego Comic-Con.
“Eraserheads: Combo on the Run” is written and directed by Maria Diane Ventura. It is her first feature since 2021’s much-lauded “Deine Farbe” (Best German Feature, Berlin Festival; Best Director, International Film Festival Manhattan).

The band, composed of Ely Buendia, Buddy Zabala, Marcus Adoro and Raymund Marasigan, currently on their “Huling El Bimbo” world tour sweeping cities of US and Canada, will also be featured in an SDCC-exclusive issue of hit Filipino-American indie comic “The Legendary Lumpia Squad.”
At the same time, a panel dedicated to the “Lumpia universe” is also scheduled on July 26, 7-8pm, at Room 6 BCF of the San Diego Convention Center.

Ely, the Eraserheads’ singer and chief songwriter, will grace the panel alongside Lumpia Squad creator Patricio Ginesla and legendary artist Whilce Portacio (X-Men, Stone).
He will also be at the exclusive autograph signing slated the next day, July 27.
Known for having lorded over Pinoy alt-rock in the ‘90s and beyond, Buendia, Marasigan, Zabala, and Adoro are, in a manner of speaking, akin to being music superheroes in the eyes of fans back home, as well as the global Filipino diaspora.

“Combo” first started production during prep work for 2022’s Manila staging of “Huling El Bimbo.”
The feature ultimately zeroes in on how this “unlikely group of disbanded punks” was able to provide healing while, ironically, grappling for it themselves.
“Eraserheads: Combo on the Run” is brought to you by Dvent Pictures and WEU, and produced by Buendia and Voyage Studios.
The trailer will be available to the public on July 27th on the Eraserheads’ and DVent Picture’s official youtube channels.
