It was back in early October that Film Combat Syndicate shared some of the first promotional poster and banner art for UK independent filmmaker Brandon Kahn‘s ambitious new martial arts television series, Streets Of Myth. With plans to kickoff a major crowdfunder in 2014, Kahn has unleashed a new press release, accompanied by his latest new proof of concept shortfilm action teaser featuring the martial arts prowess of actor Beau Fowler and actress Zara Pythian.
THE FIRST FILM SET IN THE EPIC STREETS OF MYTH UNIVERSE
INVITES YOU TO ENTER THE STREETS OF MYTH
STARS ZARA PHYTHIAN, A FORMER 13 TIMES MULTI-STYLE SPORTS MARTIAL ARTS CHAMPION, FROM “HE WHO DARES” AND BEAU FOWLER FROM “UNDERGROUND”
Birmingham, UK 15 November 2013 Zara Phythian and Beau Fowler go toe to toe in Enter the Streets of Myth, an intense proofofconcept short for Streets of Myth.
Streets of Myth is an ambitious web series set in an alternateuniverse, contemporary Birmingham, UK, where every neighbourhood is a fiefdom and every wrong look can end in blood.
And everyone knows kungfu.
Enter the Streets of Myth aims to give viewers a taste of what’s to come in the dramatic, actionpacked first season, coming in 2014.
The film is a portrait of two characters, each sent as champions from their respective districts, each determined to win the day. Rather than let their simmering, longstanding feud explode onto the streets, Aston and the Jewellery Quarter send fighters to battle it out in annual grudge matches, each accompanied by no more than three other representatives of their neighbourhood. While the two rivals can’t send any more people, these matches have, over the years, become almost like county fairs for other districts, bringing people together to watch the fight.
The Jewellery Quarter has walked away with bragging rights for the last few years thanks to their champion, a young man as cynical and jaded as he is unbeatable. This year, Aston have tried sending an unknown and untested new fighter to stand for them…
With contributions from some of Birmingham’s and the UK’s finest, including fight choreography by Rx3 Fight Crew and appearances from rapper Mad Flow, breakdancer Colosseus, DJ Silence, stunt crew SG Action and more, Enter the Streets of Myth is a vibrant, unique fight film that packs more than your average six minute short!
Enter the Streets of Myth will be available at 9pm, Friday November 15th on our website at: www.streetsofmyth.com/teaser
