Diether Ocampo is Jacci Rocha in Rakenrol [VIDEO]


Diether Ocampo plays rockstar in 'Rakenrol'
At long last, after 5 years in the making, director Quark Henares's RAKENROL is finally coming out. The much-anticipated movie is Henares and co-writer Diego Castillo's (guitarist of Sandwich and music video director) ode to the Philippine rock music scene, which both consider their home. In the film, Irene (Glaiza de Castro, Grazilda, Amaya) and Odie (Jason Abalos, Endo, Mara Clara) are outsiders who become best friends because of their common love for rock n' roll. Odie eventually falls in love with Irene, and helps fulfill her dream of forming a band.

They recruit an ex-punk-turned-barista named Mo (Ketchup Eusebio, Guns and Roses, My Amnesia Girl) and the school bully Junfour (Alwyn Uytingco, Imortal, Ang Tanging Ina movies), deciding to call their band HAPIPAKS. In the process, Irene is wooed by her "all-time supercrush", the famous rockstar Jacci Rocha (Diether Ocampo), Will Odie's love for music and Irene prevail, or will the one thing that brought them together end up destroying them?

The supporting characters add color and humor to the cast, with Ramon Bautista as the music video director Flame Tigerblüden, Ricardo Cepeda as a samurai marketing guru, Jun Sabayton as Mo's artist roommate, Hiyasmin Neri as Junfour's pregnant girlfriend, and Matet de Leon as... Matet de Leon.
