SYNOPSIS:

Ever wanted something so bad that you would do anything just to get it?

"Tambolista" focuses on one boy's simple dream of owning his very own drum set. Set in the different slums of Manila, the film is taken from the point of view of 14-year-old Jason. A boy on the verge of manhood whose biggest passion is playing drums.

When his older brother Billy (Coco Martin) impregnates his girlfriend, the brothers and their streetsmart friend Pablo (Sid Lucero) try to come up with any means possible to get money to pay for the abortion. These three men show how the struggle to survive amidst their lives of poverty can also be a struggle for keeping their humanity in this intimate portrait of two brothers living in deprivation. The movie also shows how life is similar to the beat of drums, both having high and low points.

Where every beat counts...

Our multimedia studies course group at the University of the Phils. Open Univ. has launched a survey which we hope will help us define the demographic and psychographic profile of the Pinoy YouTube user of today, with focus on those involved in the Philippine mainstream and indie film industry. Please help us in this effort by accomplishing the short survey (just click on japsforupou in this comment, you'll see the link at the top of my page). Hurrah Philippine Cinema!
