From first-time feature filmmaker Jeff Toye, THE OPENER is a feel-good music doc about a Philip Labes, a young street-performer / singer-songwriter who decided to write 30 songs in 30 days to process his grief and isolation during the pandemic.

After posting his music to TikTok, Philip found that his music spoke to millions. When it reached the ears of one of his heroes, Grammy-winner Jason Mraz, Philip found himself faced with the opportunity of a lifetime: to open for Jason Mraz on his latest tour.

The ultimate underdog story, guided by an effervescent protagonist you can't help but root for, THE OPENER is a labour of love that will restore your faith in the power of dreaming big.
