A trio of teen friends during the summer after graduating from high school in Colma, CA, are trying to figure out what will be next for them.

This is a first effort, a low-budget, almost home-made movie. One of the trio of teens, H. P. Mendoza, who plays Rodel, the gay kid who has no idea what he wants to do, wrote the script and the music.

And you know, for a very low-budget, home-made effort...it's really pretty good.

Sure, it's current music, so none of it is something that is really singable like a Rogers and Hammerstein song...nevertheless, it ranges from decent to a few really excellent numbers. The 'getting drunk at the party' song, the cemetery number, the play and the bar scene stand out, but none of the songs were bad. The teens playing the lead roles were good, and could sing, an added bonus.

If you feel a little experimental, and love musicals, give this one a try...I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed.
