I’ve actually written about independent filmmaker, actor and martial artist Joey Min a few times. He’s been around nearly as long as any of the online content creators and stunt professionals I’ve enthused about in the last ten years and he’s definitely one of the most talented people I’ve seen on both ends of the camera, and having finally met him late last year certainly made for a memorable evening among friends in 2014.
Alas, you can find out more about who he is through a simple Google search or a few runs on YouTube with shortfilm credits such as Fernando Jay Huerto’s Fighter’s High, Xing Yi Quan: Techniques And Applications with Keith Min, Mark Cheng’s Operation: Red Retrieval, Eric Lim’s Tokusatsu short, Secondary Education, and Bueno’s boundless OTT Tokusatsu action comedy feature, Gun Caliber to name a few. In the meantime, Min wants to hone in something very special to him nowadays with the new webseries, The Forgotten Kingdom, a martial arts comedy series centered on a Tai Chi instructor forced to play along with a horde of invading LARPers (live-action role players) in an effort to beat them at their own game and bring peace to the park he teaches at.
The project has become a major priority for those involved, mostly consisting of people I’ve featured on Film Combat Syndicate since its heyday on Facebook in early 2013, including mutual friend and fellow stuntman and filmmaker Jon Truei, Eclipse Stunts’s own DL MacDonald and YouTube personality KidHaru a.k.a. Devin White. Of course, what makes this an even bigger deal is the involvmemt of Hong Kong Stunt Legends Vincent Lyn (The Blonde Fury, Armor Of God 2: Operation Condor) and Bobby Samuels (Red Wolf, Don’t Give A Damn).
Soooo… yeah. I’d keep going on listing any number of reasons why you should support this project. However, Min himself makes the best case as he now does in his newest campaign video via Indiegogo which you can watch below. Otherwise, head over to Indiegogo and take a look at all the details involved on how to help make this webseries into a fantastic reality.
