TREASURE: Quest for Jackie Chan Fan Sketch!

While working on 3 computers in succession (one on each state of mind), the "recreational" computer was trawling online and landed across this ever so cute Quest for Jackie Chan! dedication.

Sophia A. was one of the audience members of the "Maximum Choppage: Round 2" screening I did in Newcastle earlier this year. I recall driving for like 2 and a half hours north out of Sydney to launch and speak at this event, and always in great spirits that other youngies get inspired to take on the arts field, whether, filmmaking or acting.

At the end of the session, I gave away my last two Jackie Chan shirts I had in stock as well as some stick art. A few responded with their own art works that were sketched on the fly and I guess Ms little Sophia missed out - only to be discovered online.

All the best Sophia! and thank you for your kindness and founded digital piece of inspiration, that adds to the growth of the "Quest".

Intended title: For Maria Tran's Quest for Jackie Chan!

last night i went to the loft in town, and had another Inzine meeting about the current upcoming Inzine, and talked about the things i still have to submit for it. Which are a review on the best ninja game in the world (my opinion) "Red Ninja" and a drawing for a pirate and ninja spot the difference.


After the meeting, me and the other members went ahead watched a movie made by Maria Tran, who is currently doing a project to find and meet Jackie Chan. This picture included in this post is dedicated to her quest. It is a chibi of the legendary kung fu comedy actor himself, Jackie Chan!!


GOOD LUCK MARIA TRAN!! I hope you succeed in meeting jackie Chan.

EVENT: Maximum Choppage: Round 2 Screening in Newcastle!

After a 2 and a half hour drive north of Sydney, I arrived at Newcastle with my fellow interns/protege film student Thuy Ng and tourism student Ok Chop. Its been a while since Rumble Pictures had a Maximum Choppage: Round 2 screening and this time, I was contacted by Adam Clough via You Tube to see if an event like this could happen.

Adam has always been a action film buff and have been keeping tabs on film movements over the course of his life so when he heard about "Maximum Choppage: Round 2", a film that holds the title for Australia's Urban Action Martial Arts adventure, Clough quickly took that chance to grapple an opportunity for a screening and an opportunity to inspire other young hopefuls in to areas of film.
Newscastle is much more scenic than the hustle and bustle of Sydney. It is the second most populated city in the state of New South Wales, Australia and is the largest coal exporting harbour in the world.

Back to the screening, with a intimate group of viewers, Maximum Choppage: Round 2 is able to be played once again on the big screen. Unfortunately Timothy Ly wasn't able to make it, but his youth, spirit, innovation can be felt throughout the film. I must admit, the film itself is a good piece of collaborative dynamo and I'm glad to be involved in such a fine piece of work that hasn't lost its appeal to inspire others.

Here's some snappies of the event.
Shout out to Adam Clough for coordinating the screening and my lovely intern/ protege Thuy and Ok for accompanying me to the event and bearing with my shoddy manual driving skills.
