What’s so difficult about making 1000 Blu-ray discs? Well… everything. Here’s how Death Grip did it
onWe set about the difficult task of authoring a Blu-ray version of our latest film Death Grip, which you can buy on our website. They've been selling much faster than the DVDs because Blu-ray rocks, and I'm happy as hell we did it. I often get questions from filmmakers asking how the process went, so [...]
Death Grip Reviews – Round 2
onFugu Talk saw our preview at Comic-Con 2012: There was one Donny Yuen film, some awful stuff that ranged from fun to unwatchable, and a really impressive indie effort from The Stunt People that reminded me of the old Jackie Chan films, both in terms of action and physical humor. I liked the clips so [...]

Even attending the American Film Market didn't prepare us for what Cannes was all about. The [...]
An Action Filmmaker in Italy – Part of the Cannes 2012 Trip
onTuesday, May 22 - Our time in Italy was short but sweet, punctuated with our sound designer Matteo and a stunt team called D-Unit. We went into the fashion capital of Milano, where we went to the only coffee place that resembled Starbucks called Arnold Coffee. Italy is the only European country that doesn't have [...]
Death Grip is going to Cannes (the market)
onRebecca Ahn and I are attending the Cannes film market this year in May. Production designer Ejay Ongaro is likely attending as well. Death Grip isn't in the film festival, though. That deadline's long since passed. Our sales agent Wonderphil will be there selling Death Grip to distributors. Here's hoping for the best! At the [...]
“Rise And Fail” likely to be renamed back to “Death Grip”
onBased on the recommendations of fans and our sales agent, as well as our own preferences, we're likely to rename the film to its original title Death Grip. While we had chosen "Rise And Fail" because we thought it to be more appropriate for the story than "Death Grip", we do agree that Death Grip [...]
