AROUND THE WEB: Christmas Edition

It’s been a vivacious year for independent action cinema, and likely moreso than what I can keep up with, with so many teams out there in the world looking to create inspired and ambitious short films and projects to get their content circulating. And today, I have at least four new clips for what I am dubbing as this year’s Christmas Day edition of my Around The Web series, with two of the clips attributed to the holiday season. The first two come straight from Italy, by way of two teams – the first being D-Unit’s new fan-driven shortfilm, Gift Revenge: A Star Wars Christmas Special featuring actors Loris Ripamonti and Mirco Cazzol.

Looking to revitalize Italy’s independent action film scene is the newest collaboration between Stevio Studio and cinematic stunt and choreography troupe, D-Unit, for the internet’s newest webseries, C9des (Codes). Described as Italy’s first martial arts spy webseries, C9des comes from the efforts of writer, DoP, editor and director Cristoforo Cervino who met up with Loris Ripamonti earlier this year during an acting class. Eventually, their shared interest in film led to a partnership beginning around May or June when Ripamonti joined the production as its executive producer, in addition to being its premiere stunt coordinator with the aid of his team, D-Unit. The first episode is now online with English subtitles, with a current slate of eight episodes pending, while episode two is set to air in March of next year. C9des stars Vera Matiushkova and Ivan Cazzol, with Mirco Cazzol, Stefano Stucchi and Tommaso Scandamarro rounding out the cast. […]
