Albert Pyun
Albert Pyun( born May 19, 1953) is an American film director best known for having made many low- budget B-movies and direct- to- video action films.
The Independent Film Channel said that Pyun" has carved out a unique niche as a director of low- budget, high- concept genre films starring actors past their prime", adding that" others believe this a charitable description for Pyun, who has also been derided as the new Ed Wood."
Though he frequently blends kickboxing and hybrid martial arts with science fiction and dystopic or post-apocalyptic themes, which often include cyborgs, Pyun stated in an interview that" I have really no interest in cyborgs.
And I've never really had any interest in post-apocalyptic stories or settings.
It just seemed that those situations presented a way for me to make movies with very little money, and to explore ideas that I really wanted to explore — even if they were[ controversial]."
Some of Pyun's better known films include" The Sword and the SorcererCyborgCaptain America", and" Nemesis".
Pyun was a military brat and lived on bases around the world until his father settled in Hawaii.
Pyun went to school in Kailua, a small town located on the windward side of Oahu.
Pyun's first 8 mm and 16 mm movies were made in Kailua and he credits living in foreign countries and growing up in Hawaii as strong influences on his filmmaking style.

Paul Fejos
Pál Fejös, commonly known by Paul Fejos (January 27, 1897 – April 23, 1963), was a Hungarian-born director of feature films and documentaries who worked in a number of countries including the United States.
He also studied medicine in his youth and became a prominent anthropologist later in life.
During World War I, Fejos worked as a medical orderly for the Imperial Austrian Army on the Italian front lines and also managed a theatre that performed for troops.
After the war, he returned to Budapest and eventually worked for the Orient-Film production company.
He began to direct films in 1919 or 1920 for Mobil Studios in Hungary until he escaped in 1923 to flee the White Terror and the Horthy regime.
He made his way to New York City and then eventually to Hollywood where he started production on his first American feature film, "The Last Moment", in October 1927.
As a major hit, the film allowed him to sign with Universal Studios.
After a number of other successful films, Fejos left America in 1931 to direct sound films in France.
In 1941 he stopped making films all together and became the Director of Research and the acting head of the Viking Fund.

The Last Performance
The Last Performance is a 1927 American horror film directed by Paul Fejos and starring Conrad Veidt and Mary Philbin.
It was the last American silent film featuring Veidt before he returned to Germany.
The film's working title was" Erik the Great".
Two versions were made- a silent version and Movietone version complete with music, talking sequences, and sound effects( the talking sequences were confined only to the last reel).
Historian Troy Howarth states" Originally planned as part of Universal's" Super Jewel" series, it was shot in 1927 and got a brief release that same year in New York City.
It went into general release in 1929, just as sound films were beginning to catch on."
He continues" Its belated general debut led many to conclude that" Last Performance" was a follow- up to Paul Leni's" The Man Who Laughs"( 1928) ... However, Fejos' film was made first."
The silent version went into general release at the Little Carnegie Theater in New York City in November 1929.
Later release prints contained sound effects, and the Hungarian release prints featured Bela Lugosi overdubbing Conrad Veidt's voice.
" The Last Performance" was shot on the same set as the 1925 film" The Phantom of the Opera", and contained an early use of zoom effects.
The film received mixed reviews.
Troy Howarth states" An interesting rumor has circulated for years among film enthusiasts that Walter Brennan appears in the film as a circus clown, but this is difficult to confirm with any degree of certainty".
The silent version( with Danish title cards) was released by the Criterion Collection on Blu-ray and DVD with Fejos'" Lonesome" in August 2012.
The dvd release runs about 59 minutes, so" it seems likely that some significant footage is lost."
