Art School Dropouts

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 operates 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. 

The thing is, we have a highly specific but underserved niche: nostalgic martial arts action comedy. Our films resonate with fans of Hong Kong cinema, Jackie Chan–style choreography, and DIY indie filmmaking. This genre has a global cult following that is ignored by mainstream platforms and large studios but creates an opportunity for us to capture this market.

With our proven production process, we allow for maximum creative control and scalability with minimal overhead. 

We are also diverse — led by Asian-American creators with deep ties to martial arts and film culture.

As a small but growing film production company, there are numerous tasks that go into making films. Even in dire times, we are always dedicated to producing the best films we can in our own vision. Today, we are appreciative to have supportive people contribute to our films. Your funds will go towards:

We have several features and web series on deck to be made. But we do not want to compromise our vision and story which is why we are going about this in a bit of a non-traditional filmmaking way. We are asking our audience and fans for support.
 
Our promise is that our films will always be available to watch for free on YouTube.

So if you are interested in being a part of our journey of independent story telling, then consider donating!
