It was two years ago that a small group of Taekwondo students in Singapore became friends, each with unique, collective interests ranging from classic Jackie Chan and Hong Kong action films, to the visual stylings of filmmakers like Freddie Wong and trendsetters like traceur David Belle. Two years later, Joseph Chai, Kent Lee Joon and Hazlan Shah have established themselves as one of Singapore’s most active independent action film groups with their YouTube platform, JKHH Films, a place where they can showcase some of their on-set comedic antics accompanied by a comprehensive and growing understanding of fight choreography and stuntwork.
This week, the group continued their efforts with the release of their latest action short, The Infiltration, which centers on a rebel’s mission to save the Earth from a coup that has outlawed the use of LED lightbulbs. It’s like an interesting plot to work with, and it does come with a specific purpose as the team filmed the project to circulate into this year’s #UseYourPower2014 shortfilm competition being headlined this month by the World Wide Fund For Nature’s Singapore branch. Best known for its activity and efforts in environmental awareness, WWF recently made headlines several weeks ago, announcing Sony Pictures’ latest contribution of famous web-slinging superhero, Spider-Man as their newly installed ambassador in light of the upcoming Earth Hour event scheduled for March 29, 2014, making The Amazing Spider-Man 2 director Marc Webb its first celebrity ambassador to endorse their cause. Of course, this lends itself an opportunity for independent filmmakers in the country to get their work in front of the director, especially for the folks at JKHH.
