The last time producer Patricio Ginelsa premiered one of his movies in Hawaii, he got the news that his estranged father, Patricio Senior, was dying. When Patricio got to the Philippines his father was gone and his family had his viewing in a street. "You left ME for THIS?" Patricio thought.

Flashback a few years and Patricio's family was bankrupt and Patricio's mother wasn't very supportive of her son going to USC to pursue filmmaking. It was risky. Patricio agreed and applied to local colleges around Daly City, California, and applied to USC just to see if he'd get in.

He was accepted.

And by the time they took the college tour, Patricio's mom was talking to ever administrator trying to convince them that Patricio was destined for big things. She even wanted to play Patricio's VHS tapes of the kid hero's that would protect their neighborhood.

After graduating cinema production at USC, he became the Associate Producer of THE DEBUT and wrote/directed the feature LUMPIA. Ginelsa has directed over a decade’s worth of music videos, including the Black Eyed Peas: The Apl Song. He’s won Best Music Video (SDAFF) for his Native Guns “Champion” and the California Preservation Foundation Presidents Award for BEP “Bebot: Generation One”. His crowdfunded feature LUMPIA WITH A VENGEANCE makes its film festival debut this year.

But it was John Singleton's Boyz In Da Hood that inspired him to create LUMPIA and LUMPIA with a vengeance.

On the day this was recorded it was the last showing of LUMPIA WITH A VENGENCE in Hawaii, but the first showing in a drive-in. Patricio was nervous as any creative would be, that the experience was exact.
