Leading into Chinese New Year filmmaker Chris Chung will release his kung fu comedy short Soho Jimbo next Monday. To give you a taste of what Chung and his crew cooked up here is the trailer.
A wanderer plays two rivaling triad gangs against each other in their bitter war for Chinatown.
Soho Jimbo was inspired by classic martial arts films from HK and China and stars Alan Wai from AMC's Into the Badlands who certainly holds his own.
The short was one of five short films created during Director UK's Alexa program last year. All teams involved had two days to complete their short film. You can read up on Alexa, including thoughts on the process from Chung, here.
Chung wrote, directed and choreographed the action. His producer Christine Cheung was also an integral part of the crew's success in such a short time period. When she reached out to ScreenAnarchy about the short film's upcoming online debut we knew we had to share it with you.
Chung is hopeful that he can make a full length feature film version of Soho Jimbo in the future. We approve.
