Phone call Teaser 2 & New logo for Dark Pictures

The logline of my HK action/thriller PHONECALL, "When a job goes sour Craig is held accountable and goes to the big house for 15 years while the others remain free. He serves 5 years but gets out early on medical bail, now with only weeks to live Craig attempts to leave the planet with a few less people...."


Changed the story, no cops involved now :) Above is the 2nd Teaser I put together after shooting Victoria's contribution to Phonecall, SAE is on break now for 3 weeks so as soon schoool opens again I can borrow some equipment and finish this short film. I'm hoping it finishes good, as it already looks like my best work yet! Hopefully over the holidays I can get some basic parkour down so I can use it and choreograph the final fight scene. I haven't got photos yet but the railyard location I mentioned last blog fell through, the trains were moved and now there are roadworks going in the area over new year which sucks so I am thinking of setting it at a waterfront. Not sure yet but want it to be epic you see. (and safe, guns in public's a no-no)

Bouncer is going to be my end of year film, not Maria as I intended. Originally ' Bouncer' was going to be a Dead or alive tribute to my favorite character Jann Lee but since I am not ready to pitch for a feature YET, I will just change the names and the character. I decided to do Bouncer for budget reasons plus I want to have some cool stuff for my pitch when I try to do feature work after I graduate. This Bouncer has been in the pipeline for a while and I want to finish it before Streetfighter as Jann is my fav character and is probably why I do JKD for real now ;)


Below is a screenshot of my new logo, you like? Next year I will launch my website and make what I do all official as well as a couple of Web series, 1) showing off me in my favorite action stars shoes (eg transporter) and 2) another behind the scenes as I try to become an action star. Stay tuned as I work on the title graphics and finish the planning, I want to try get exposure through youtube as well as make some cash on the side to fund my independent features :)



Anyway happy holidays to everyone and a happy new year, make resoulutions worth fruition and a goal worth scoring :)

Phonecall - Teaser 1

Check out the teaser!!



Yes, The latest project I am working on is a short film I've written which is titled 'Phonecall' and is about 2 cops on different sides of the law settling their differences. It stars Nazim and myself. I wanted to keep testing my knowledge/creativity and see if I could create films like my favorite Hong Kong and Korean directors. Below are some photos from location scouting for the final fight scene.




It's forecasted to rain tomorrow so will have to try film the fight scene sometime this week, in the meantime i hope you enjoyed the little bits of behind the scene pics and the teaser above ;)

Catman/Dr Kill -News piece outtakes.



This is a compilation of some of the original news piece I had shot before abandoning the project. Enjoy it, the character might be used again in future ;)
