“It’s a lottery, after all,” Ventura explains. “It could take place at any theater, at any moment. But what we can promise is that those who experience it will witness the Eraserheads in an intimate, unforgettable setting.”
The goal of this special event? To reignite the cinematic magic of music and storytelling at a time when streaming dominates the entertainment industry.
“Some films are meant to be experienced in the cinema,” Ventura adds. “With its Dolby Atmos sound, fans will hear the Eraserheads' music in a way they never have before. And imagine—just after watching the film, the band comes out to perform live. It’s a full-circle experience that brings music and cinema together.”
Combo On The Run: A Must-Watch for Eraserheads Fans
More than just a concert film, Eraserheads: Combo On The Run offers an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the band’s historic Huling El Bimbo reunion concert in 2022. Featuring rare footage and never-before-seen interviews, the documentary dives deep into the band’s legacy, struggles, and personal dynamics.
Film critics and pop culture experts are already hailing it as one of 2025’s most important films, capturing the political and cultural climate of the Philippines post-pandemic.
“I don’t want to give too much away, but this film speaks for itself,” Ventura says. “It’s raw, honest, and real. Nothing is swept under the rug.”
While the Eraserheads’ legacy is undeniable, Ventura emphasizes that the film isn’t just about their music—it’s a story of growth, redemption, and self-reflection.
“This is a documentary about being human—the highs, the lows, the mistakes, and the triumphs,” she explains. “That’s what makes it so powerful.”
A Historic Cinematic Release
Eraserheads: Combo On The Run is produced by Dvent Pictures and WEU, with Warner Bros. Pictures as the official distributor. It will be the first-ever Philippine documentary to be screened in Dolby Atmos, delivering the most immersive sound experience possible.
