Actor and Action Designer, Hectoria Soria, recently teamed up with indy action film heavy hitters, Art School Drop Outs, to deliver CRAZY, a new short film that sees Soria brawl it out with actor and stuntman, Victor Chong.
Director Joey Min and his new film, Player Agency, will preview the first ten minutes at this year’s edition of the Urban Action Showcase & Expo in New York City. Min and his team will be previewing the clip during their filmmaking panel titled “Indie Action Filmmaking and Operating On A Budget”.
If you were to walk up and tell me that the future of action cinema is a guy somewhere in New Jersey getting together with his friends and doing martial arts shortfilms donning Kigurumi onesies, don’t be surprised if I shrug with approval. Joey Min has been on my radar since I discovered him for myself collabing with the likes of Fernando Jay Huerto and Jon Truei over the years with Min’s Art School Dropouts indie label in full tilt as an ambitious, self-nurturing and ever-growing wheelhouse of creativity with a keenness on kung fu cinema and comedy, Min can go fight a ham sandwich for all I care. I’m all in, and this latest video from the ASDO was cool. Enjoy!
FCSyndicate can share the latest official title logo for Player Agency, a new independent VR-animated action adventure from director Joey Min. The project, which marks the latest feature-length in-house effort from Min through his Art School Dropouts banner, has been in the works since early 2021 and is currently at the halfway point ahead of its hopeful Spring 2023 release.
Joey Min at Art School Dropouts released a new video essay at his official YouTube channel on how to make a feature film with no money. It’s about fifteen minutes long, and I have to say, it especially goes beyond the listed “steps”, one which includes, as Min himself elucidates: “Be nice. Be-Fucking-Nice.”

March 2018 saw a brief change of pace for director Joey Min with Lady, a three-minute experiment with a more “gritty and serious” direction apart from his usual kung fu comedy formula.
Art School Dropouts’ martial arts comedy sequel webseries, Yes, Auntie!: My Asian Auntie Season 2, is now available on Amazon Prime as of May 21. The New Jersey-based independent film banner took to YouTube on Thursday to make the announcement of the feature film edition’s acquisition by New York-based Asiancrush as of late February/early March.
It was an honor and a privilege getting to be a part of the experience had with the guests at the Museum Of The Moving Image last month screening Yes, Auntie!: My Asian Auntie Season 2, and I have none other to thank than the cast themselves, and especially co-star, producer and legendary Sammo Hung protege Robert Samuels for making that possible.
The last seventy-two or so hours as of this post have been nothing short of abuzz since the premiere of Art School Dropouts’ Yes Auntie: My Asian Auntie – Season 2.
This Friday, folks are being invited to attend the official grand premiere of director Joey Min’s feature debut, Yes, Auntie!, as part of the Fist And Sword series at the Museum Of The Moving Image in New York City. The film is a cinema-woven edit of what’s slated to be a second season of their hit webseries, My Asian Auntie, which rose to fan acclaim and demand for more per the request of fans ardently following Min’s creative journey through his YouTube portal, Art School Dropouts.
The last several years have been great in getting to acquaint myself with filmmaker Joey Min and his team at Art School Dropouts. They’ve amassed multiple awards at festivals and continue to garner support from fans and viewers in a field that Min has been hustling in since long before when Team FistyleZ was a thing. Nowadays and with a rousing quintet of talents in collusion with some of the best of the best in the northeast, the team is on deck to finish up and release their first feature film in My Asian Auntie Season 2: Yes Auntie!.
We’ll still have more where that came from next week. Feel free to endulge in last week’s treats in case you’ve missed out and remember to SHARE the Hit List with friends and subscribe to the channels for support. And of course, if you or someone you know makes equally kick-ass content that deserves the eyes and ears of our Hit List audience, hit us up at filmcombatsyndicate@gmail.com!
