Premiere Thai stunt professional, actor and martial artist Kazu Patrick Tang is taking a step-by-step approach to becoming a film director as of late. It’s a great trend for someone heavily crafted in cinematic stunts and performamce martial arts in films like Raimund Huber’s Dragonwolf and Rashane Limtrakul’s Raging Phoenix to name a few, which could mean some awesome prospects in action films.

It was last year that Tang relased his debut action short, Marksmen, featuring martial arts action performers, actors Brahim Achabbakhe and Ron Smoorenburg (Ninja: Shadow Of A Tear, Tekken 2: Kazuya’s Revenge). The shortfilm became a modest hit online within the niche, and ultimately, Tang’s first foray into a career in filmmaking that will hopefully flourish with the right people and opportunities to come his way.

That said, Tang is currently in progress with developing new test fights and shorts for future release, and just posted his newest experimental short, 1 Fight/3 Styles. The mini-project marks another culmination of Southeast Asia’s top film talents, with performances Charlie Ruedpokanon, and Jawed El-Berni, with all three people exhibiting their own styles of editing – another aspect of being a stunt professional, and a great tool to play with for anyone working in film.

Ruedpokanon is also part of the newly established Thai based stunt team, The Action Guys, lately involved in the upcoming release of SPL 2: A Time For Consequences, with Tony Jaa and Wu Jing.
