The New Indiegogo Campaign For UK Action Short, DOG, Is Online

The gang more than at SG Action recently debuted many action and drama scenes in two new music videos featuring U.K. hip-hop artist, Dream McClean, actors Simon Wan and Martin Wan, and actress Sophia Del Pizzo. Right now, nonetheless, they are releasing a new crowd funding campaign to help full the actual film itself entitled Dog.

Initially, the film itself came 1st prior to the music project, according to statements from the director, Robin Schmidt, who has been producing motion pictures for the last ten years. He is also a part of the inventive center for the official Facebook Page he shares with Simon for their personal independent film group titled We Are Super Massive.

I had the likelihood to ask Robin a couple of questions lately, and he offered some additional information about how it all started. "I was functioning with a record label referred to as MTA Records. We have been asked to develop two back to back music videos for the artist Dream Mclean." he says. "Fundamentally the short was all about trying to maximise a day's shooting and actually do anything a bit different with their artist. We came back and stated, 'Well, um, yeah, we cannot do that. But if you give us the cash we can shoot a brief film we've been creating (sort of) and we'll turn that brief into these two music vids for you.' They said yes. We said, 'uh oh', and knew we had to truly do it."

He went on to say, "I've recognized Martin for a although via his brother Simon who I've been shooting with for a few years now. We've completed a handful of bits and pieces collectively but never truly had a possibility to do factors at the level we wanted to. This was a likelihood to do that."

Robin also illustrated some of his own personal factors why exploring the action genre was crucial to him this time around, stating "I just got fed up of trying to make the films that the film bodies in this country look to think about is what need to be obtaining created. I do not do soul looking films about downtrodden communities in the northeast. I did not grow up in poverty, I wouldn't be authentic. What I do know about even though is fractured, complicated personalities exactly where what you see on the outdoors is not what's going on inside." He then added "I also just like action films. I usually have, in the eighties and early nineties that wasn't a crime. Now, seemingly, admitting you like action motion pictures is tantamount to saying you happen to be a moron. Cineastes turn their noses up at them declaring the genre popcorn and bereft of correct cinema. Which is accurate most of the time, but entirely ignores the gorgeous work coming out of HK and particularly South Korea. I enjoy Park Chan Wook, I adore Hard Boiled and I really like Let the Correct One In. Where I sit personally is a grand fusion of all these diverse styles."

I also spoke to 1 Simon, who plays the title character. Like his functioning companion Robin, shares an affinity for classic Asian action movies, citing the John Woo crime thriller, Hard Boiled, and Park Chan-wook's revenge thriller, Old Boy, as references. He says, "Adding to the fact that Martin my brother had spent his entire life studying Kung fu classics and possessing a stunt team, it just felt right we ought to bite the bullet and try and make it.". 

Simon also credited MTA Records for how remarkable they have been to the production, providing them what they required to film the scenes for Dream Mclean's music videos (as observed above). and was also quite emphatic about the production, his encounter functioning with the cast and crew, and his hopes for what lie ahead. He says "We hustled difficult to get to this stage, selling all our gear, lenses, old DS's, old iPods to scrape an additional two days. But we really feel that one more fight sequence will actually make this stand out and also pushing it to a 30 minute reduce. Lengthy enough to care about the characters but with great fight set ups that make you go 'fuck! That was great!'" He then added "The team we pulled with each other was amazing. Such love on set through very hard long wet and cold days. We had the cream of the increasing crop, everyone without having exception pulled the best out the bag and we'd love to get then all back and reward them with funds that we hopefully raise from this Indiegogo campaign."

"The best issue about my character is his hair! It truly did it for me." said Martin of the character he plays in the footage. Martin also owns and operates SG Action, as nicely as performs, produces, directs various projects with the group. Becoming that the film was what came initial ahead of the two music videos, Martin describes the reception received from the viewing audience prior to moving forward into campaigning for a comprehensive film project. He says "From a stunts point of view, everything seemed to point to a lot more. All of the stunt performers did a excellent job and we got some epic and brutal shots, but we had such a limited time a couple of other important fight scenes had to be removed. This did not impact the videos nonetheless, and they were released and had a excellent reception." He continues with saying, "Even so a lot of folks kept asking if there was any far more. Could they see more of the fighting? What was happening with the footage? Right after speaking with Robin, it became clear that he already had an concept to expand the footage into a longer short film, and offered our present stand point as an upcoming UK based noodle guzzling high kicking stunt team, we talked about obtaining some a lot more action into the short film and generating it just a lot more epic in general, to make something we could all hold up and say 'look world! THIS is what UL independent film makers and stunt teams are capable of with a quick time frame and a tiny price range, we are on the map and we mean enterprise!'."
