Zak Lee Guarnaccia Is Set To Star In WASTED And KALM

1 of the biggest topics I cover when talking to action actors and stunt performers about martial arts motion pictures is the want for individuals who are able to carry the weight of both acting and stunt performing, which also tends to make it less complicated for certain filmmakers and stunt coordinators to bring action to life on screen. This is some thing that remains a challenge to a lot of folks in film, but it is a challenge that has been embraced far and wide by a lot of individuals in the planet, most notably in the independent industry.

One of these men and women is Italian-born Zak Lee Guarnaccia, a multifaceted actor, martial artist, fitness expert and Hollywood stuntman whose career has been evolving his career in film, tv, martial arts and fitness with effectively-more than two decades of work offered for viewing on his IMDb page. Getting co-founded ZASH Productions in 2000 with fellow producer Shane Boroomand, Guarnaccia later revamped the firm with the new label, Lightrow Images in 2008, and released his directorial debut in 2009 titled Rules, a gritty, martial arts action horror film primarily based on a correct story. Rules has considering that gone on to the development of an upcoming sequel titled Rules Reborn, 1 of numerous Lightrow titles be co-produced with Paul Lupi beneath his banner, Mill Reef Films.

This week, it has been announced by way of a press release issued on Monday, that Guarnaccia is in talks for a function in the action suspense thriller, Wasted (formely recognized as 'Degradation'), primarily based on a script by producer Daniel Lupi. Guarnaccia also appears in a new pitch trailer for a martial arts bodyguard thriller he will also star in titled, Kalm.

I will be keeping an eye on these two productions as much attainable, so remain tuned for more data as it comes. In the meantime, watch the reel at the best of the web page, and then check out all the details and a lot more in the press release after the jump.
