hmm...I think this is as independent as I can get.

 I dont even have to say, we all know my idol is Jackie Chan.

 

But for many years, I have loved action, and love to see more and more

actors do their own stunts and fights.

 

So finally after about 5 years, with my script The Dishwasher, it will be finally shot this summer, with the help of Seng2KK, in which he will be directing and such.

 

You can have a good laugh now, cause I really hurt my acl on my left knee, and truly, this is not the footsteps of my idol, I don't want to really follow, but I am so determined to make my film and am involved in other films, and happy to have found people where I live....other actors, who really do their own stunts and such.

 

I will say, I am not Jackie Chan and have never ever claimed to be like him.

 

I am not a black belt, and have trained some.

 

But after working on sets and such and seeing dedication and being

very picky of the people I want to work with, I have learned alot.

 

Yes I have learned alot from Ahura Z.

 

If your sick of hearing about Ahura, don't read further, cause I damn well

am always going to give credit where credit is due.

 

If it wasnt for my big brother, my teacher, I would have never gotten this far.

 

Even though I have started to branch out, Ahura has taught me strength,

where I have I truly think, I was never good enough, he has helped to push

me, cause quite frankly, I might never, be here sitting and writing, and talking

about making my own film know.

 

I know really this film, for me, it is something just coming from my heart.

 

You know I think I kind compare how I think to Slyvester Stallone, where

they told him, he couldn't do his Rocky film, especially cause he talked

funny.

 

I talk quite funny cause of my Boston Accent.

 

There were so many people that didn't think I would even get this

far.

 

I know if I get chances to do more films, the way I am going to cast

is not based on looks along...pure heart and determination.

 

Well yeah, if it is action...the biggest requirement...you have to do your

own fight scenes and stunts.

 

The greatest thing...I am finding more and more people throughout

the world that feel the same way I do.

 

I will try and keep updates.

 

For someone like myself, who was basically a nobody, I think I'm doing

just fine the way I am, for I know, that not many people have chances

like this and never will...so I really can't wait for thing to come together.

I've discovered over time, that ever since Hollywood had the courage to look more into independent films, they began Exploiting them. All for the purpose of sales. Sure, they still give a chance and look for new talent, BUT, it's always a matter of knowing someone, or having the money in the first place, will get you there.... But if nothing is had, you will remain hidden in the depths of talent.

So, While Hollywood comes up with these Exploitation Independent movies (I say exploited because they actually have backing with the distributor, and are under certain constraint by upper producers), We beginners, ones seeking to make something happen, have yet to show what we create!
