Spanish screenwriter and director Ruben Arnaiz (“Blasted Wasteland,” “The Adventures of Sandra Munt”) with Argentine martial artist and stuntwoman Andrew Dasham (“Heaven on Fire”, “Dirty Rotten Partners”, “Armor of God 3: Mission Zodiac”) announced a project called "Garbage man" (Scavenger).
The genre of the project is a post-apocalyptic action film interspersed with hand-to-hand scenes.
Synopsis: In a post-disaster world, Reiko and Adam escape the Walled City after stealing an important artifact from the Bowden Company, which sends a group of mercenaries to capture them. The goal of all parties to the conflict is to get to the Crone, a mysterious woman who seems to hold the key to starting a new future.
The main roles were divided among themselves Andrew Dash and his brother Stephen Dash ("Ip Man 4"), as well as Angus Hoe ("Phoenix Street") Pablo Pablov ("The Greatest Victory") Dua Wang ("Clone Me"), newcomer Harumi Takashima and others.
At the moment "Garbage man" is at the post-production stage, but the creators say that the action movie should be released before the end of 2022.
Martial arts practitioner and short film director James Kush at the very peak of the pandemic, he began filming his first full-length film called "Lost Phoenix" (Lost Phoenix).
Мы already wrote about this project, which a year ago was at the stage of searching for investors who could provide funds for the release of the film.
The film is about an amnesiac man who wakes up during the 2020 pandemic. He is forced into a desperate search for his true identity, evading official law enforcement, heavily armed extremists, and a mysterious sniper watching from afar.
This independent action film features newcomers such as Van Drop, Pri Parikhas well as himself James Kush.
The film was picked up by the company Gunsavior Pictures, which should release the action film on some online platform or straight to DVD before the end of 2022. On this occasion, a new trailer has appeared online.
Master Toshi Asaka, born in Japan, while still a teenager, moved to the United States - straight to California. There he went to an aikido school Steven Seagal, where he received his black belt. But more than anything, Toshi wanted to learn the national Japanese way of handling weapons. To do this, he returned to his homeland and spent a long time studying swordsmanship, as well as the Meishinryu aiki-jujutsu style.
Insofar as Toshi Asaka He is also an instructor at his own school in California; he apparently had enough acquaintances to occasionally act in films in small roles or even independently direct short films, and later independent films. As a result, Asaka-san created a company Yokohama Film Club for filming full-length projects (“A Place for Memories”, “Another Story”), one of which was a samurai action film "Ronin" (The Ronins).
Synopsis: Two ronin (samurai without a master) meet and immediately begin to fight to find out which of them is stronger, but a mysterious woman accidentally interrupts their duel, as representatives of the Yakuza are chasing her. The Ronins stop arguing and help the girl, becoming unwitting defenders of an entire village occupied by the Yakuza and their mercenaries.
It’s interesting that the film was shot in English, despite the fact that the Japanese are playing in the action movie: a stuntman and an actor Koji Kato (“The Outsider”, “Man Hungt”), as well as students of Toshi Asaka - Daichi Hirahara, Kenji Kawata, Ken Kinoshita and others.
The film is currently making its rounds at film festivals, even collecting positive reviews, although the trailer doesn’t look all that interesting. Although we all know indie cinema, it can surprise.

I am waiting. I hope there will be something exciting.
I would like to mention Pasha as a person who has been an active participant in this project since…
Sad ending, albeit with a joke...
Added a video from the filming of "Twilight of the Warriors".
