Directing duo Sébastien Kong and Virak Thun have a mini webserial entry now among the lot vying for votes of this year’s fifteenth edition of the Nikon Film Festival. The series in question? Impassible, a snackable, roughly 6 x 2″ action drama penned by Kong and Thun, and starring Steve Tran and Laura Bui, and fight sequences by Kevin Ke. Hao is in debt but has a special ability. To take the pain. He gets paid to be tortured on stream. Until one day it goes too far for his friend Liya who intervenes during a “performance”. They are hunted by Hao’s employers. The episodes are all easy to watch, and each part is shot in one take. Imaginably none of this is easy to do on one take alone, which makes you wonder how many takes there were for each part, if that, especially while filming action amid the […]
21 festivals and 38 awards in, actor and filmmaker Richard Goss is still on the road with black comedy psychological thriller, Fried, starring Goss alongside Jake McDaid. Independently funded and produced by Goss who co-directed with Jessica Crooks, Fried presents a half-hour tale told in four acts for its webseries format, notably inspired by previous works such as Bruce Robinson’s Withnail & I, Jon S. Baird’s Filth and Martin McDonagh’s In Bruges. Exploring themes of poverty, social class, mental illness and addiction, Fried chronicles the travails of a psychotic call centre worker, and a depressed waiter as they struggle with minimum-wage life in London. The result is a largely contained story that brews with chilling effect between unnerving and visceral blackouts, elevating from murderous and suicidal ideations, to violent, drug-fuelled, head-trippy machinations that unravel with gory resolve and a climax that will surely have you on the edge of your […]
Actor and content creator Steven He remains a comedy force to be reckoned with on his platform. His latest move now arrives in the form of Ginormo!, an unearthed sci-fi meta series in the vein of classic kaiju and tokusatsu shows, with episodes set to launch on YouTube beginning May 12. Created in the early 1970’s, Ginormo! follows the Super Protection Force (SPF) as they protect the world from the evil organization, Beast Advanced Artillery Division (BAAD), which seeks to take over the world using the most terrifying monsters ever created. Unfortunately, due to the shoe-string budget and the incompetence of the production team, the show was so badly done, it never aired. Recently discovered by Steven He, we will be airing it for the first time as an unintentional comedy masterpiece. The official trailer is up as well, along with a link just beneath which you can bookmark. Here’s […]
A new prelim teaser trailer is now online for Slug Street Scrappers: Regen, the long-awaited second season of the inaugural Slug Street Scrappers web-video series from actor, martial artist and filmmaker Micah Brock. Co-star and creative partner Shaun Charney is reteaming with Brock to bring the second season to life with a current cast that bares a mix of both new and familiar faces in the roster. A collaborative effort between Brock’s Whirlwind Action and Charney’s Dragon Phoenix Entertainment labels, the first season of Slug Street Scrappers is currently available in four parts, and takes its inspiration from hit 2003 action adventure Ong Bak, as well as anime and both 1v1 and side-scrolling fighting game fanfare the 80s and 90s. It chronicles the interwoven drama between a cadre of badass fighters, all competing in a street tournament to claim the coveted title of “toughest in town”. Brock plays Bruiser Bom-Bash, […]

Following a late 2019 production start, Matt Merritte’s latest independent effort, Rage Peaks At Night, would have been his feature debut had it not been for the pandemic a year later. It certainly led to some restrategizing and restructuring, which now brings us a more flexible webseries format to coalesce Merritte’s new project some. At any rate, the webseries is due for this year, and an official trailer is online as of earlier this month which you can view above. Rage Peaks At Night centers on Julia (Lauren Biazzo), a woman searching for her brother with the help of an ex-Triad, whilst being pursued by her former occult crime family, The Apostles, led by Judas (Tom Caserto). Also starring are Popra Nakayama, along with Koji Nishiyama and Kouryou Ngin, with fight sequences by Lang Yip. Folks are advised to follow the official KeepForward Productions Instagram page for more updates as […]
Subscribers to Swadesh Entertainment on YouTube will be some of the first to get a glimpse of what lies ahead for upcoming webseries, Ayotti. The first official trailer is online, and while there’s no immediate logline or plot description available, there’s enough visual imagery and insinuations in the subtitles to take what we can. This, coupled with a translation of the title which means “Mastered” according to Google Translate, a Southeast Asian and Australian mix cast and a healthy peppering of stylish and slick slo-mo cinematography to catch the eye and… well… you get the drift. Ayotti is produced by Faisal Azad and stars Saifullah Sadi, Tajzi Hossain, Rupanty Akid, Shawon Arijit, Takashi Hara, Eddie Tuckerman, Aiden Mckenzie, Lamont Malishus, Warren Deveros, Faisal Chowdhury, Maria Tran, Bobby Le, Masudur Rahman, Jasmine Vandenberg, Libby Millar, Imran, Wongso John, Anamul Haque and Sareya Akber Eva.
One of my many hobbies is playing video games so when I was told about a web series that focuses on a female gamer, I had to give it a try. I was so hooked I finished it in two days (it would’ve been less, but real-life demands kept getting in the way). After viewing Life XP, I was eager to talk with Cassandra Ebner, the creator, writer, executive producer, and lead actor of the series. But her talents don’t stop there; she’s also performed stunts for Game of Thrones, Batwoman, Flash, Supernatural, and more. Want to learn more about her? Read on: You’re a gamer, an actor, a writer, and a stuntwoman. How did you get started in these roles?I was forced as a child to play the video game quake with my dads friends. Once they could beat his 5 year old daughter, he allowed his friends to […]
That stunt training as a prerequisite for folks keen on drama shouldn’t be an absolute. This, of course, is an exemplary caveat for anyone willing to partake in entertainment who loves performing dynamic feats in some form or another – be it for a live audience or on camera. Actress Cassandra Ebner has all the tools she needs in this regard, having equipped and surrounded herself with just the right ingredients for Life XP, her latest shared venture with career stunt performer and filmmaker Trevor Addie who previously helmed stellar 2013 short, Croft, based on the Tomb Raider games. Created by Ebner, she plays Angela, a basketcase who masks her antisociability in her love of books at the bookstore where she works for her mother (Enid-Raye Adams). After slacking on the job, she is summarily fired and soon panicked over likely being kicked out despite paying rent. When her best […]
