In this crowdfunded action comedy, the LUMPIA-armed avenger returns to Fogtown! A maid of honor to her own parents' wedding, teenager Rachel finds herself tangled up with a crime syndicate selling drugs disguised as food. She teams up with the crime fighter to prevent a mysterious crime boss from destroying her town, and her parents' dream wedding.
Directed by LA-based filmmaker Patricio Ginelsa and filmed primarily in the San Francisco Bay Area, LUMPIA WITH A VENGEANCE stars former UFC champion Mark Muñoz, April Absynth (STARZ “Blindspotting”), Katrina Dimaranan (Miss Philippines Universe Tourism 2021), Earl Baylon (Netflix “Tomb Raider”), Danny Trejo (“Machete”) and a talented ensemble. The film is also a re telling of Ginelsa’s first-ever micro-budget feature titled LUMPIA, reuniting its original stars Francis Custodio and Edward Baon.
After making its World Premiere at the 40th edition of the Hawai‘i International Film Festival (HIFF), the film was named winner of HIFF’s coveted Audience Award for Best Narrative. Filmgoers have certainly responded: The film has sold out screenings at film festivals from Hawaii, to New York and at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival.
The film has spun off its own comic book series, also crowdfunded by its supporters. The LUMPIA WITH A VENGEANCE comic books published independently by Kid Heroes Productions have allowed the creators to expand upon the movie’s story and universe- with art by the same artists and illustrators that have contributed to the actual movie. The variant covers and contributions from legendary creators such as Whilce Portacio (X-Men, Wetworks) and other upcoming artists have resulted in limited editions provided with every screening.
LUMPIA WITH A VENGEANCE may be an action comedy on the surface, but at heart, it's a community film developed, funded, and starring the community. And it makes use of the one iconic food that defines our community - LUMPIA!
