As soon as Ely Buendia walked down the red carpet laid out in front of Cinema 9 of SM Megamall, people started chanting, "Ely! Ely!" The former vocalist of The Eraserheads attended the premiere of the band's reunion concert-turned-movie titled Eraserheads Reunion Concert: The Movie. It will be shown in SM cinemas starting November 26.

According to a source from Sony BMG, they came up with the idea to show the concert on the big screen about a month ago.

During the premiere night held last night, November 24, Ely talked about the indie film that he made with Diane Ventura, his longtime girlfriend. Titled Waiting Shed, this 13-minute short film is produced by Tikoy and Anima Aguiluz of Cinemanila. It was shown in Marikina City recently as part of Cinemanila's Sine Barangay.

"Diane and I wrote the script pero it's mostly improvisational and mostly an experimental work," Ely told PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal). "The concept is waiting for something to happen basically...kaya Waiting Shed."  

In this short film, Diane plays a nurse who spends some time in a waiting shed located along a major street.

Do you have other indie projects in the future? "I hope so. This is the first time I did something like this and I'm very thankful for Direk Tikoy Aguiluz for giving me the opportunity to make it. I had so much fun and kumbaga it's a dream come true for me." 

How long did you shoot the short film? "Parang real time yun, e. We started shooting midnight until morning."

Do you see yourself doing a full-length film in the future? "Definitely. I've been wanting to do this since I was in college. Of course, I'm really excited about this."  

Ely's 13-minute short film Waiting Shed and Marcus Adoro's short film The Artist Is In will be screened prior to their concert-turned-movie.
