We are an East Coast–based indie digital media company specializing in features, shorts, sketches, webseries, behind‑the‑scenes vlogs, and tutorials on fight choreography and filmmaking. We operate with in‑house writing, directing, fight choreography, editing, etc., allowing full creative ownership, flexibility, and low budget filmmaking.

We believe in the power of art and its ability to bring people together. That's why we have created a YouTube channel, where our films are available to watch for free. 

Key Metrics: 
  • ~13,500 YouTube subscribers 
  • ~2.5 million total YouTube video views 
  • ~28,000 Facebook followers

We specialize in nostalgic martial arts action comedy — Hong Kong–style fight choreography and DIY indie filmmaking. This genre has a global cult following that is underserved by mainstream platforms and studios, giving us a unique opportunity to grow and engage an enthusiastic audience.

Our team is diverse and deeply connected to martial arts and film culture, led by Asian-American creators who bring authenticity and passion to every frame.

We have several features and web series ready to make, but indie filmmaking outside big studios is challenging. Your donation allows us to:

  • Enable independent storytelling that thrives outside the mainstream
  • Gain exclusive access to behind-the-scenes content and early cuts
  • See your name on screen and online as part of our creative family

Even with a small team, filmmaking is complex. Your contribution helps us:

  • Pay our cast and crew fairly and provide meals on set
  • Rent props, costumes, wardrobe, equipment, and locations
  • Apply to festivals and cover licensing and marketing costs
  • Maintain the freedom to tell our stories our way

With your support, we can finish upcoming features, web series, and shorts without compromising our vision and continue producing films that are free for everyone to enjoy.
