that's my statement and along the way aside from my professional practice i have been to film school i took an interest in films in the mid ninety's and then i levels of film make a guess you know for those of us out there i guess i could separate it with three different types of levels one is the student phillips that's one as that is concerned i would consider that a student film ok then we move into the independent field arena so independent films are made of four by an individual or by a company you know a group of people that has form of film company so they make a feature film and take take on the past of writing the script and  quite a bit of passage from beginning to end just like you tried to be a host right you start with the brew print and you build a house and then you have your finished house so the same thing when you do fail and usually is a and a lot of companies out there at their the movie in the pendant we produce so this is call independent films and then finally i guess you have your mouth i love you have your hollywood movies hollywood films in films you have your independent films and then you also have the hollywood films so for those three which swedes you prefer which ones are ok well i myself have been into a limited number of hollywood films these are big budget films in a lot of time i get a part and after i'm done with that part i'm done ok so that's actually not my way not my prefer a way of producing films because i went to film school because i had vision of what i want to be in the film and so on and i guess over the years i have been the writer i have been the actor i've been the choreographer i have been the produce films level this is where i'm at although if the hollywood companies want to hire me for certain parts you know i could you know i could look into a lot of us except that i'm not except that you know but what i really want to be in is are in the in the making of independent films were i i can't do my own choreography i can't even pick my own shots when it comes to editing if i didn't like that particular i can throw i can tell the editor to put in something else you see if i didn't like my acting part in certain scene i can go to editor to re edit it you see so i actually really prefer independent films because this is where you really truly expressing yourself now mind you this is not a pass it is a long drawn now past and it requires a lot of energy and is happening during the movie and what you choose to add it and say oh yes s s well s are what you want the audience to see at the end you know sometimes big budget hollywood movies they you have to create what we call creative control and or soul what you want to show the audience you see sol unless there are some exceptions if you are an independent films and you sold the rights to a company or studio the contract may say they are allowed to edit some part of your movie you see that's kind of per contract agreement but for the most part if you are independent producer and you have an independent distributor so to speak or tied in with your company then you know yeah then you have your creek to control and you can also monitor what you want to show the audience you know sometimes it's important sometimes are sentences important it b c of the information you want it to you know like get across to the audience you don't want that sentence to be thrown out yes sometimes even down to like one word or two words you know it's like don't smoke and that's that you know that it's a big deal if that is the message that you want to deliver  of it seems like a really good idea i'm actually really interested in martial arts choreographies yes i guess most people do know me as a martial arts actor as well as a choreographer and i do have the see that is also one of my specialty one of my passion is but this by no means easy ok any type of movement any type of action as well as you know as well as the dramatic effect you see and so when you study choreography there are different types of choreography you know their movement choreography there sing choreography there are even when you walk as an actor there's a certain way the walk and done particular type of walk sometimes need to be choreographed ok so you have danced choreography y martial arts choreography and you have action choreography you know involved with objects and the car is and things like that you see so you have many different types of choreography  definitely is the main bach you know people come to see my choreography in the movie the course the storyline has to be good but a lot of times people do come to see my martial art so i really have to choreograph and just because you're a good martial artist maybe you're a good fighter or you're a good teacher does not mean that you have good choreography and if you don't have good choreography then you don't you cannot project yourself on the screen you see so you definitely need that and there are schools that unicode do to go to you know i guess in my many films i have martial artists who are really good martial artist but they cannot act and they don't know how to react and they didn't know how to do choreography and i had to start from scratch of the teach them how to do martial arts choreography there's actually schools that you could go to if not school at also how do you react to it you learn how to deliver it and you learn how the we react to it you know like if i hit somebody and that person does kind of like it doesn't  know in choreography in the martial arts choreography and nobody actually ever gets hit what i mean there are exceptions but most of  enter manic and entertaining because that's what the audience one yes you know does what the audience wants and what the new technology in ok the audience are used to seeing movies a feel time the same type of action then they get tired now what do you do you have to keep coming up with new waste of fighting and find the rooftop i phone go out i find that there's a fight line down i fly under the water started diving they are fighting you know so best you know so so the audience out there you see five of these things get pirate and the producer and the choreographer has the constantly thinking of both jumbled up new ideas and new actions that's why making a good martial arts flick and make up a potluck much worse film that you know school to break the record it's really demanding now i mean since bruce lee that's what forty five years ago how far we have come you know of the bruce lee those vend them and siegel and then this matrix and then now there's all these new saif five movies not using computer graphics you see so  you see how that has really evolved in i guess you know i myself actually more though on the bruce lee as well as jackie chan because typing these two men really did a lot and i'm not putting down the other martial and that's when weeks called the v c r revolution happen a lot of independent film companies even our small companies now like my company we are able to make a movie and delivering it d s you have your compact this and that this keeps getting smaller and smaller and smaller until it becomes a chip now you don't even need to do that i guess you could guess that distribution came with technology the internet has owned the world ok when you get on the internet there's different ways i guess basically there to waste one news stream you know our company it's preparing to stream the movies we even the cable company if you have cable at home you buy to stream it usually is like for two days or you buy the oem you download it you see so it's one or two ways but it is in the net that is what's happening now  you know there's the theater houses out there but a lot of them there are the big company big studio films or they are independently all you know like in college on campuses and you know small audience i still like that but now because of technology and all medium is the internet so you can see my movies on d v d pretty soon you can see all of my movies on making films the sixth film actually it's right here in k so this film is actually called the american dream ok so the american dream is basically you know if you can see the y shot between the two of us this movie is also going to be the poster or you know i own the rights the poster is actually going to be in the asian heritage dream somehow it's not a martial arts movie it is a drama it is about the story up an illegal immigrant in america hence it's called the american dream and what's interesting one of the selling point is that it is a foreign film mate in america ok so a lot of foreign films are made in foreign territory this foreign film is shot in the chinese language in the cantonese but with english subtitles so this is something that would appear to be chinese here in the bay area as well as for people who are interested watching foreign films and reading the subtitles so yeah so the for this while the other movies off five marshals move east each one of the or have been independently produced and choreograph ok so as far as that's concerned they all have different storylines some of the filings are pretty similar
