The National Film Society’s own Stephen Dypianco and Patrick Epino have been hard at work cramming a list of who’s-who in Asian American cinema villainy history to appear in a new crowdfunded webseries they have been putting together for well over a year now. And so far, in addition to the help of writer Milton Liu and producer Diana Williams, Dypianco and Epino have been able to do just that for their upcoming inspired new webseries, Awesome Asian Bad Guys.
Consider it a love letter of sorts to classic movies of the 80’s and 90’s like Big Trouble In Little China, Rambo: First Blood Part II, Die Hard and The Karate Kid: Part 2 as the new webseries brings together some of the most memorable Asian American cinema performers in history. Awesome Asian Bad Guys goes live in 2014 and stars Dypianco and Epino along with actresses Tamlyn Tomita and Jasmine Currey, and actors George Cheung, Dante Basco, Al Leong, Yuji Okumoto, Randall Park and Aaron Takahashi.
DESCRIPTION:
Awesome Asian Bad Guys is a kickass action comedy web series about a motley crew of Asian bad guy actors who joins forces to take down LA’s most nefarious mobster. The project celebrates these often overlooked icons and transforms them into the heroes of their own new adventure.
