Up dharma Down is a Filipino band that has interestingly broken and combined musical boundaries in their songs.  Their eclectic music gave them the leverage to stand above most local bands in the Philippines, enough to be featured in the July 2007 issue of Time Magazine. They have since played in Hong Kong and at Singapore’s Mosaic Music Festival. They are also the first Filipino band to be featured in MTV’s Advance Warning show.

Directed by Michael B. Chait. Produced by Elevate Films and TMU Pictures LLC for Jeepney Music Inc. and the Elevate Film Festival.
