HIT GIRLS
OFFICIALLY SELECTED FOR THE
ACTION ON
FILM FEST
We are pleased to announce that short film comedy by
multifaceted Maria Tran (Writer, Producer & Co-director) has been
officially selected to be part of the 2013 Action On Film International Festival, now in it's ninth year, which runs from
August 17-25, 2013 in Monrovia, California.
Maria has been a long time
guerrilla filmmaker of the action film genre in Australia and Hit Girls was a guerrilla international collaboration with Hong Kong action actress, Juju
Chan. The film was shot on the RED camera and in 4 days.
Maria Tran said: “Whilst
being rejected by several film festivals in Australia, I’m glad to know that
there is an appreciation of the action film genre abroad. I want to make films
with an international appeal and I think the action genre does it”.
The collaboration of Hit
Girls in late 2012 paved way for Maria and the fight choreographer, Trung Ly
onto working on a Roger Corman movie made in China called “Fist of The Dragon”,
starring US MMA fighter, Josh “The Punk” Thomson early in January this year.
Maria Tran and Trung Ly
will be flying to the states from the 20-30 August for not only to attend the
festival, but also collaborate on another independent martial arts action film
genred movie called “The Gathering”, directed by the prince of piracy,
Johnnyray Gasca.
They are both keen to
connect with as many independent and industry filmmakers who are keen to collaborate.
