I’ve spent more than four years making a big stink about Jon Truei’s latest, The 44th Chamber Of Shaolin. I’ve spent even longer bigging-up Truei on this platform, and even long before that when he was out on these pre-YouTube internets collaborating likes of Fernando “Jay” Huerto and Joey Min in their heyday, and I’m really proud to see that Truei is staying steadfast in his hopes to make his newest shortfilm comedy release a feature film reality. At long last, the shortfilm is now online after circling festivals and generating momentum between hands and chatter, as the journey nonetheless continues to get this proof of concept funded, cranked up, produced and hitting audiences theatrically in the nuts everywhere.
A mischievous, prank loving kung fu master creates fake training for a gullible teenager who still believes fantastical myths about martial arts.
THE 44TH CHAMBER OF SHAOLIN is a screwball martial arts comedy inspired by the Hong Kong martial arts genre, the films of Stephen Chow, Shonen Anime, MTV’s Jackass, and a fucking shitton of other things.
Marshieh Johnson, Santino Marin, Samuel Dunning, and Robert Samuels star, with action sequences by the aforementioned Min. And, I make no apologies about referring to nuts.
