Question: Are the directors of both films The Search For John Gissing and Heatseeker (Film) from the same country?

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. 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. 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. <SEP> Simon J.
