SWEETER THAN BITTERSWEET: Friday Night Dining With Some Of The UASE’s Best
Ever hear the one joke about the New Yorker and the Canadian? …Nah, me neither! It’s not easy as I’m writing this on a crisp, chilly Saturday morning while at work again. Granted, it’s neither the cold nor is it the usual next-day recovery period from loss of sleep. Rather, it’s more perfunctory in that I’m lucky if I get to be in a room at least once or twice a year with as many like-minded people as I got to last night at the Times Square Diner And Grill in wake of all happening at this year’s fifth annual Urban Action Showcase & Expo. Indeed, it took a little help whilst planning a gathering of what I expected initially to be a handful of maybe ten people plus a few local friends, and with the help of D.L. MacDonald, a stuntman freshly in from Canada wearing, of all things, […]
THE HIT LIST – July 4, 2016
All I’ll say is to click here to get a glimpse of how a part of my weekend went. Needless to say, it was fantastic and I’m glad to share it with you all, and I certainly hope to have more moments like it with even more people within my purview. For now, It’s Monday, and that means it’s time for The Hit List, and kicking things off is, by far, one of the best and most impressive tricking reels you’ll see, here and now from Westminister-based martial artist and stuntman, Martial Club member Brian Le who has been very busy in the past few years building his prolife as a bodybuilder. And so, while not all trickers can perform these feats with the same hefty frame, it’s thrilling to know there are a few who have the caliber to do so, and Le’s reel is a proven hit among […]
Envizion Films Kickstarts Feature Funding For THE WAY: FIGHTER'S TWITCH
Take stylish martial arts choreography inspired by the philosophical essence of Jeet Kune Do in classic Bruce Lee movies, and mingle it with characters wrapped in a paranormal and cerebral setting – That is essentially what the folks over at Envizion Films have been working toward in the evolution of their webseries, The Way with production and choreography duo, actors Khalil Barnett and director Ronny Vega, and now they need your help to achieve what they hope to through Kickstarter. Together with series producer Jason Ronquillo, the trio have posted a new campaign video online to advance crowdfunding for a feature film expansion that encompasses both The Way and its follow-up series, The Way: Fighter’s Twitch. Both series installations stand collectively as workable proof of concept for the film they now hope to make, with fresh new content, including a graphic novel franchise of their own to embody the overall […]
New Webseries THE WAY Blends Cerebral Thriller With Bruce Lee Ethos
I’ve often mentioned Florida’s independent action industry in previous reports and things have since continued brewing with features well on their way from various aspiring directors that I know of. And this week, I can now add another to the list of folks I’ve covered with multifaceted actor and independent filmmaker Ronny Vega who newly unveiled his zero-budgeted online action series titled, The Way. A 14-year purveyor of Jeet Kune Do under Bruce Lee disciple Richard Bustillo, Vega based his concept for the series on formatting each episode as interwoven stories written with a message rooted in Lee’s history, his life philosophy and resounding legacy. Accordingly, the late martial artist and film sensation would also shape Vega aspirations to pursue multiple aspects of film for well over a decade now. “My mother and father were martial artists,” he says. “When I was five, my father would always put Bruce Lee’s […]
