Your A-To-Z Guide To Zombies

The month of October is synonymous with Halloween which is synonymous with hot cider, corn mazes, scary movies, and murder. You know, normal fall stuff. Often featured in these scary tales are the creatures known as zombies. But they’re not all the same. Don’t believe me? Keep reading. Let me present to you, your A to Z guide to zombies: Alice in Zombieland One of my favorite things to try is retellings, especially retellings of Alice in Wonderland. This series, White Rabbit Chronicles, is written by Gina Showalter and the first book is called Alice in Zombieland. This version shows Alice as she tries to avenge her family and becomes a zombie slayer. Badass Zombie Killers This is a great card game for two to six players. The game sounds simple enough: you put together a badass weapon to fight off the zombies. And I’m not talking about a chainsaw: […]

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: An Interview With Steven Yu

Lee B. Golden III

You might recognize the video above if you follow independent martial arts movies. Videos like these are a culmination of years of fandom and the hard work it takes to keep that fandom alive, and there’s no question that actor, martial artist and stunt fighter Steven Yu has contributed his fair share, and with any luck, still is. As it is, Yu is one of the dozens and dozens of people I’ve been following in the world of online independent film since 2004 when I first started watching Bilang.com tricking videos and Zero Gravity practice fights for my own evening enjoyment. (Sometimes my Quicktime player [I owned a PC, not a Mac] would crash, whereas my Windows Media Player would save the day. Fun times). Jump over to 2005 and short films like Stephen Reedy’s award-winning kung fu ninja comedy, Undercut would propel me into the workload of the San […]

JOSHUA KIESER: A Stuntmaster's Legacy

Lee B. Golden III

About eight years ago or so, as I spent my time browsing online, zombied out while instant messaging with friends, I would always look up trailers and clips of action movies. I began witnessing an emerging of a new subgenre within martial arts cinema. It was the start of an era comprised of many individuals and sports teams throughout the world, harnessing their athletic talents in martial arts, stunts and filmwork to this very day. People I observed, making their own short action movies and gaining their notoriety through viral videos were doing so, starting in their late teens and early/mid 20’s. But as fate would prove it, for me, and possibly many others, dreams are timeless, especially for sixth grader and Colorado native, Joshua Kieser. At just twelve years old, Joshua is already a lifelong athlete, having played soccer when he was around four or five years old, and […]
