WATCH: Petersen Vargas’ Filipino Queer Youth Film ‘Some Nights I Feel Like Walking’ Drops Trailer

Some Nights I Feel Like Walking

Petersen Vargas’ latest queer youth movie ‘Some Nights I Feel Like Walking’ has just released its trailer ahead of its November premiere.

Vargas is known for helming several greatly praised queer projects such as ‘How to Die Young in Manila’ (2020), ‘Hello Stranger’ (2020), ‘2 Cool 2 Be 4gotten’ (2016), and ‘Hanging Out’ (2017).

On October 18, Friday, Filipino powerhouse producer Daluyong Studios unveiled the trailer featuring its lead actors Jomari Angeles (‘Ben X Jim’), Tommy Alejandrino (The Day I Loved You’), Gold Aceron (‘Beki Problems’), and newcomers Miguel Odron and Argel Saycon.

The trailer follows a rich kid who runs away from home and joins a group of Manila street hustlers who sell their bodies to gay men in exchange for money. Together, they go on a road trip to fulfill the final wish of their dead friend.

In making the movie, Vargas said that he wanted to prove that a “sliver of light exists in the darkness of Manila nighttime. There are unusual friendships formed along these dangerous streets. There is solidarity in honoring someone’s death by finding their home no matter what. I want to offer another version of our reality by showing the kind of human connection I know exists and still persists.”

The film has been selected for the Cannes Atelier, Hong Kong Asia Film Financing Forum (HAF), Locarno Open Doors Hub, and the Southeast Asia Fiction Film Lab (SEAFIC), where it won the SEAFIC and SEAFIC-HAF Awards.

‘Some Nights I Feel Like Walking’ will be making its world premiere at one of the largest film festivals in Northern Europe, the 28th Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival, running from November 8 to 24.
