CYBER FIGHTER: Cameras Roll For Indie Sci-Fi Martial Arts Comedy Proof With Feature Plans In The Works [EXCLUSIVE]
Actor and director William Joseph Hill is ramping up production on sci-fi martial arts fantasy comedy, Cyber Fighter. Cameras are now rolling for the proof of concept shortfilm, which I am told will have a festival run well into the new year as Hill and his team boost the project to feature film fruition by 2024.
Cyber Fighter comes from Four Scorpio Films in association with We Make Movies, and is based on and adapted from Hill’s independently-published 2019 novel. It centers on Brian Baldwin, a temp and former game designer who takes a job at a defense contractor. The adventure begins when he volunteers for a top-secret virtual reality/mind programming experiment, during which black belt-level fighting skills are downloaded directly to his brain, turning him into a human weapon.
Production on the proof began at the iconic Los Angles Center Studios this week, following announcement of the project at Indiegogo back in August. Also starring are Pamela Hill, Robert DiTillio, William Christopher Ford, Leon Sheen, Matthew Jaeger, Sapna Gandhi and John Kreng (Battle B-Boy, Paying Mr. McGetty) who also serves as second unit director, stunt coordinator and fight choreographer.
