The film is set in a mythical world of vikings and dragons.

The teen’s smarts and offbeat sense of humor is disliked by his tribe and its chief, Hiccup’s father. However, when Hiccup is included in Dragon Training with the other viking teens, he sees his chance to prove he has what it takes to be a fighter. But when he encounters (and ultimately befriends) an injured dragon, his world is flipped upside down.

Guided by their gay manager Didi (Jao Mapa), they spend the next few months before their trip bonding as friends who share a common dream of finding greener pastures in the Land of the Rising Sun.

Michael worked as a dancer in Japan when he was still a minor, using a fictitious name and a forged passport. He makes sure his recruiter doesn’t find out he’s not a first-timer to Japan like the rest of the guys. Benjo seeks to escape a cruel stepfather and find his missing older brother, a musician turned illegal alien in Japan. Alvin is Didi’s lover, who openly expresses his affections for his benefactor while hoping to make his own money in Japan.

The two members who share choreographic duties, Jake and Rico, quickly develop a secret romance. Problem is, Jake lives with his devoted girlfriend Jenny (Niña Jose), who supports him financially. On top of his romantic quandary, Jake is soon discovered to have a heart ailment, jeopardizing his chances of joining the group’s trip to Japan.

As a former Japayuki himself, Didi knows a stint in Japan hardly guarantees a financial windfall for the group. So he enlists the members in a networking company that has been giving him ample dividends. Unfortunately, the company collapses without warning. It ruins Didi and threatens to dissolve not just his relationship with Alvin but the group itself. Violence erupts on the eve of their trip, which could shatter the dreams of the Dreamguyz.

Filipino-American Norbert Caoili, winner of Mr. Asia Pacific International 2004, has made it to Hollywood with the release of his first feature horror film Frayed.

Norbert Caoili, who grew up in a tightly-knit Filipino family in the US, said his movie’s release is the realization of his lifelong dream.

Synopsis: Frayed is a story of a small town sheriff’s worst nightmare when his homicidal son escapes from a psychiatric hospital. The movie begins when the sheriff launches a massive manhunt to save the town and his family from his son’s brutal and violent psychosis.

What begins as a familiar slasher storyline, quickly becomes a psychologically dizzying thriller that will keep you at the edge of your seat.

Caoili is the son of Bert Caoili, a former president of the Filipino Community of Seattle for the past decade and an ardent Gawad Kalinga (GK) supporter.
