John Salvitti Pays Tribute To His Mentor, Donnie Yen In A New BTS Look At SPECIAL ID
Today we have a brand new featurette for the upcoming mixed martial arts cop thriller, Special ID, directed by Clarence Fok. The footage is a tribute to lead action star coming directly from the YouTube account of multi-faceted actor, fight choreographer and Martial Arts Hall Of Fame inductee, John Salvitti.
Special Identity work behind the scenes by John Salvitti as a dedication to mentor Donnie Yen.
“The best I’ve worked with! Started me in the Hong Kong industry 25 yrs ago! Bro’s over 30 yrs!!!” Oscar winning DP Peter Pau (Crouching Tiger) captured true artistry in every frame as our DP on Special Identity!
Special Idenity Production Notes : Peter Pau was very pleased to have John Salvitti work on the film with Donnie Yen as he did in Flash Point, creating mixed martial arts (MMA) scenes that show a deep passion and love for the Arts. John Salvitti said, “I’m honored that a true artist/autore as Peter Pau is, took notice of my work. This one’s for our martial art bro’s and sis’s out there, my parents, my wife shoko and daughter Maya. Time apart and sacrifice.”
