CYBER FIGHTER IndieGoGo: Jack Into William Joseph Hill’s New Proof-Of-Concept Martial Arts Action Comedy Sci-Fi Campaign
It’s been close to ten years since I’ve mentioned actor and martial artist William Joseph Hill’s name on this site. Not that he hasn’t been busy – quite the opposite, with other film projects and even getting a book published at one point.
That brings us to Hill’s newest effort with Cyber Fighter, a shortfilm adaptation of his 2019 novel. Hill’s Indiegogo campaign is now up and running following completion of virtually half the film, with hopes of bolstering his proof-of-concept with enough momentum before audiences and market banners to get a feature film going in the not too distant future.
Chronically underemployed and klutzy un-athletic videogame designer Brian Baldwin takes a temp job at major defense contractor Kirkman Enterprises, where he meets software programmer Humbert Cloogey who convinces him to volunteer to be the test subject for Cyber Fighter: A revolutionary new training program for military recruits. As part of the Beta Test, Brian is programmed with black belt fighting skills from 47 different martial arts, turning him into an overnight expert.
Funds raised is said to go to cast and crew pending principal photography, including key action sequences from veteran, stunt laureate and author, John Kreng. There’s more listed and detailed over at the project’s Indiegogo page, so take a gander and watch Hill’s pitch video to get a comprehensive look at what’s to come with your support!
