Lee B. Golden III

Following a breakthrough career in the 1990’s as the first African-American member of the Hong Kong Stuntman Association, actor and fight coordinator Robert Samuels has since gone onto work on various other projects to date, including Kaloni Davis’s 2013 sophmore indie effort, Last Days The Saga: Torrent. For this, we now turn to Samuel’s most recent turn at the helm with a project currently enduring following crowdfunding efforts earlier this year, and brings nothing short of an albeit doable concept that enfuses action, hip-hop, martial arts, fantasy and espionage in some pretty appealing ways.

Lee B. Golden III

I’ve actually written about independent filmmaker, actor and martial artist Joey Min a few times. He’s been around nearly as long as any of the online content creators and stunt professionals I’ve enthused about in the last ten years and he’s definitely one of the most talented people I’ve seen on both ends of the camera, and having finally met him late last year certainly made for a memorable evening among friends in 2014. Alas, you can find out more about who he is through a simple Google search or a few runs on YouTube with shortfilm credits such as Fernando Jay Huerto’s Fighter’s High, Xing Yi Quan: Techniques And Applications with Keith Min, Mark Cheng’s Operation: Red Retrieval, Eric Lim’s Tokusatsu short, Secondary Education, and Bueno’s boundless OTT Tokusatsu action comedy feature, Gun Caliber to name a few. In the meantime, Min wants to hone in something very special […]
