Maria Diane Ventura, the producer and filmmaker behind this exciting project, shares that the exact location and time of the performance will remain a mystery. "It's a lottery, after all," she explains. "The thrill lies in the unpredictability: it could take place at any theater, at any moment. What we can promise is that these lucky ticket holders will have the rare opportunity to see the Eraserheads in such an intimate setting. It’s a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience."
Ventura emphasizes that this pop-up performance aims to reignite the magic of movie-going, especially in an era dominated by streaming services. "Some movies are meant to be experienced in the cinema," she says. "And I feel Combo on the Run is one of those films. It’s in Dolby Atmos, a technology that lets fans hear the Eraserheads’ music in a way they’ve never had before."
Imagine watching the documentary and then having the band play live right after – talk about an immersive treat for the senses! This innovative idea came from the band’s desire to connect with fans in a fresh and unique way. "This is entirely their concept, and it’s original, fresh, and unprecedented," Ventura adds. "There’s really nothing like it out there."
Eraserheads: Combo On The Run offers an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the Huling El Bimbo reunion concert in 2022, set against a backdrop of political division and post-pandemic uncertainty. Featuring rare footage and never-before-seen interviews, the documentary dives deep into the band’s history, struggles, and triumphs. Critics and pop culture pundits are already hailing it as one of 2025’s most important films.
Ventura describes the film as a careful and balanced depiction of the band’s complexity. "I don’t want to give too much away. Suffice it to say, the film will speak for itself." Despite the scrutiny the band members have faced over the years, Ventura remains committed to presenting an honest portrayal. "What the fans can expect is that nothing is swept under the rug. Everything is explored. This is a documentary, and I’m honoring the truth."
Ultimately, the film is about growth, redemption, and self-reflection. "I have no doubt about the legacy of the band. Objectively, they are the best musicians in the country; they changed the game. Their legacy is undeniable. Their untold story, their fascinating dynamic, personalities, and humanity are what this film really is about. The highs and the lows, the triumphs and mistakes – I think this is what would really resonate with the audience. We can all relate to being human."
Eraserheads: Combo On The Run is brought to you by Dvent Pictures and WEU, and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. It will be the first Philippine documentary to be screened in Dolby Atmos, providing the most immersive sound experience available today.
Don’t miss out on this limited-time screening from March 21 to 23, 2025. Who knows, you might just be one of the lucky ones to witness the Eraserheads live in action!
