The people behind the film DON’T STOP BELIEVIN’: EVERYMAN’S JOURNEY has released a new trailer. The documentary follows the real life rock ‘n’ roll fairy tale of Filipino Arnel Pineda, who was plucked from YouTube to become the front man for iconic American rock band Journey. In this Cinderella story for the ages, Arnel, having overcome a lifetime’s worth of hardships, must now navigate the immense pressures of replacing a legendary singer and leading a world-renowned band on their most extensive world tour in years.
This film transcends generations. On one hand, this is a documentary for the post-YouTube, post-American Idol generation. It is an aspirational, rags-to-riches story set against the backdrop of some of the most anthemic songs of recent rock n’ roll history. This generation may not necessarily know the provenance of the songs, but they know they’ve heard it somewhere before – at a ball game, as a soundtrack to a movie, TV show (including the last episode of the Sopranos) or a commercial, on their parents’ Ipod. On the other hand, it is for their elders – their mothers and fathers and aunts and uncles – whose memories dance with images of Camaros, platform shoes, and Miami Vice.
Coming in Summer 2013 is the documentary “Raskal Love”. Vanna Fut was just a baby when he escaped from the killing fields of Cambodia to settle in Pomona, California. He was initiated into the neighborhood Cambodian gang TRG (Tiny Raskal Gang) at the age of 11 years old. Taking us down memory lane, he tells us about his experience during the gang wars in the early to late 90’s gangster era in Pomona and Seattle Washington.
Yet through being homeless and witnessing the deaths of loved ones, Vanna aka “Lazy”, overcomes great adversities to pursue dreams in the Arts- becoming a pioneering b-boy in the Seattle Hip Hop scene during the 90’s, to landing an acting role in a 2011 cult gangster-genre film.
This is the inspiring true story of a man who has the will to pursue his dreams against all odds. This is an unflinching honest look at three generations of the biggest Asian gang in America as seen through the eyes of someone who lived it, and is still involved. It is the story of family, the strength of the human mind, and of the power of love — Raskal Love
The official trailer for THE DEFECTOR: ESCAPE FROM NORTH KOREA, a feature and TV documentary that follows the perilous journey of Sook-Ja and Yong-hee who escape North Korea and meet with Dragon – a broker who guides North Korean defectors to their freedom. Dragon smuggles North Korean defectors across borders for a living, and his latest undercover trip with Sook-Ja and Yong-hee takes an unexpected turn when they are left stranded in China. This is just the start of an extraordinary 5,000 km journey. Their escape reflects the reality of tens of thousands of North Koreans currently in hiding in China. Filmed undercover by a Korean-Canadian filmmaker, Ann Shin gets intimate access with these 3 individuals in this dramatic POV film. Beautifully shot, with a compelling high-stakes story, THE DEFECTOR poses broader questions around human rights and the pursuit of freedom.
THE DEFECTOR will also be released online as a first-person POV interactive web documentary, enabling audiences to experience first-hand what it’s like to be a defector. Canadian film audiences will have opportunities to see THE DEFECTOR in upcoming festivals and broadcast on TVO, Canal D and CTS in 2013.
From director Walter Hill, comes the action thriller “Bullet to the Head” starring Sylvester Stallone as Jimmy Bobo, a career hitman who enters into an unlikely alliance with by-the-book detective Taylor Kwon (Sung Kang) to bring down the ruthless killer of their respective partners.
Sung Kang, who stars opposite Stallone as the man on the right side of the law in this pairing, observes, “They’re like oil and water: no matter how hard you try to shake them together, they are constantly splitting apart.” Kang continues, “My character figures out that there’s a connection between the deaths of our former partners. Taylor lives by this real rigid code of honor and a moral integrity that’s been ingrained in him. He wants the entity behind the hits, so he’s willing to team up with Jimmy to chase down the bad guys, even though he knows Jimmy is a criminal himself.”
Taylor is willing to compromise on his values for the sake of the greater good, but there’s still a limit to how far he’ll bend. Sung Kang asserts, “Generationally, they’re completely different; morally, they’re completely different; and ethnically, they’re completely different. Jimmy Bobo comes from a time where there was no political correctness, so he’s the type of guy that just says what’s on his mind.”
Coming into the project, Kang says that he was excited about the opportunity to work with both Sylvester Stallone and Walter Hill. “I pretty much grew up watching Sylvester Stallone movies. One of the first movies my father took me to was ‘Rocky.’ So getting to work with him was a pretty amazing experience, definitely one of those things on my bucket list,” he smiles. “And from the get-go, Walter Hill was so open to ideas; he was such an ally for me as an actor in that respect.”
