OPINION: Lack Of Diversity And Whitewashing In Hollywood

What is wrong with giving back to a community that has had so much taken from it? It’s not like there aren’t enough roles for white actors/actresses. But when was the last time you saw an Asian actor lead in a movie? A romantic lead? A heroic lead or even a dramatic lead? None, so making Iron Fist Asian American would have done what to America? Lead Marvel and Netflix into depravity? Will there be riots in the streets? Will non-Asians start boycotting Chinese food? No, nothing would happen. Because while it might not seem like such a big deal to non-Asians that Iron Fist wasn’t casted Asian American, it is kind of a big deal to Asian Americans who seek to be represented on screen.

John Wusah Saves The Day In The New Shortfilm, VALIANT

Superhero movies are nothing new for people like independent filmmaker, stuntman and actor John Wusah who is serving up a dish full of his own masked heroics for his latest superhero-inspired shortfilm, Valiant. Co-starring Katie Kabili and co-directed by actor Michael Lehr, Valiant is the latest project kicking things off for Wusah in his latest collaboration with 108 Films and cinematic action stunt team Fight Factory.

Not much dialogue is heard here, nor is there the usual big budget spectacle or any special effects or wires as Valiant delivers clear, cut and dry martial arts action with a noteworthy, inspiring message wrapped in a little homage to superheroes from all walks of life. The shortfilm also sets another signature example of non-budgeted yet ambitious efforts that carry heavily on the continually creative efforts of a flourishing group of film professionals who very much remain an active lot to look out for in 2014. So, while you’re here, grab a friend and take the next five minutes to enjoy the new independent action piece hosted by the official channel for Wusah Productions where you may also subscribe.

Valiant also stars Oscar Leiva and David Bauer, with fight choreography and camerawork by Narayana Cabral.
