Independent filmmaker, actor writer, musician and cinematographer Salomon Abiassi is presenting a brand new action comedy shortfilm on his YouTube channel, expanding on a concept that once began several years ago.
Namely featuring Swiss indie action up-and-comer Betim Alimi, the new shortfilm titled The Deal 2 is a follow-up on a seven-minute dramatic action short film shot in 2011, with Alimi playing a lazy courier who gets caught in a drug deal gone awry; The project ultimately became a film festival favorite a year later. This time, Abiassi‘s efforts are much more martial arts-oriented than the first, with principal performances by Alimi and actor Issa Hedjran, and further lends accolades to Alimi, who himself has been working on his own craft as a stunt fighter and choreographer since 2005, namely attributing his inspiration to well known action performers like Scott Adkins (Ninja: Shadow Of A Tear) and Daniel Bernhardt (Parker).
To note, you can expect more from Abiassi and Alimi in the months ahead, and you can catch it all by subscribing to their channels in the embeds below. In the meantime, check out the shortfilm, and remember to switch on the English YouTube captions for your PC or mobile device.
