THE ROAD will be the first ever all-Filipino film to be commercially released in mainstream cinemas all over the US when it debuts in 16 markets theatrically, including New York and Los Angeles.

THE ROAD tells the story of a twelve-year-old cold case that is recently reopened when three teenagers vanish while traversing an infamous and abandoned road.
