Watch The New Teaser For Awi Suryadi's MMA Drama Series Proof, UNLEASHED

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Street Society and Badoet helmer Awi Suryadi who is no stranger to the martial arts genre himself. Suffice to say, it’s great to welcome him back once more in the wake of his latest appeal to the fanbase with the new proof teaser for Indonesia’s premiere coming-of-age MMA drama, Unleashed, which should gain some interest in a possible feature film drama or a TV series if all goes as planned. Topping it all off, of course is a great cast fitting for a project of this nature with actress Kelly Tandiono (Gangster) opposite newcomer Simone Julia with Verdy Bhawanta (Mortal Enemies), and UFC featherweight Max Metino (The Raid 2), serving as the impetus for our two leading ladies. SYNOPSIS: HANNA comes from a prominent Malay family. Her late father was the founder of the famous Rangkuti Capoeira Center. One of the trainers is her […]

Black Sun Entertainment Presents: ENVOY

Lee B. Golden III

Award-winning shortfilm director David Weinstein‘s resume is literally a who’s-who in blockbuster filmmaking. The animation and pre-viz effects whiz, best known for his work on films like Men In Black 3, The Matrix 2 and 3, Godzilla and Hercules, took his credentials to task to much avail in the acclaimed 2010 short, Azureus Rising, and has now returned with a newly released conceptual sci-fi action short, Envoy. It’s a pretty damn good concept and a shame if no one picks up on it. E N V O Y is a science fiction, action adventure, short film to be used as a proof of concept for a larger full-length motion picture. It is the story of a troubled young boy who befriends a deadly alien creature, and embarks on a life changing journey. A love-letter to many of the classic action-adventure and science fiction films of the ’80s & ’90s, ENVOY is a […]

The team for You Can’t Hear Me/You Can’t See Me, with Andrew Suleiman (left) and Verdy Bhawanta (right) on the bottom. Upon discovering the world of independent action cinema for myself about a decade ago, I learned who actor, writer, martial artist and stunt coordinator Andrew Suleiman (pictured above, bottom row on the left) when I saw him in a 2004 project for Zero Gravity with actor Larry Leong titled Cha Cha Chinaman. From then on, Suleiman became a name I never let go of – even as my computer burned out back in 2008 and I was left to endure life without the internet for a few years. Well, earlier today, I had the opportunity to acquaint myself with Suleiman in a fun, lively chat about his happenings, his career and what he’s up to now. And though many of us haven’t heard from the team as a whole, […]
