As teenagers, kung fu disciples Danny (Alain Uy), Hing (Ron Yuan) and Jim (Mykel Shannon Jenkins) were inseparable. Fast forward 25 years, and each has grown into a washed-up middle-aged man seemingly one kick away from pulling a hamstring—and not at all preoccupied with thoughts of martial arts or childhood best friends. But when their old master is murdered, the trio reunites, soon learning that avenging their sifu will require conquering old grudges (and a dangerous hitman still armed with ample knee cartilage) if they are to honorably defend his legacy. Tran Quoc Bao | Writer/Director/Editor Mentored early on by master action director Corey Yuen, Bao was instilled with an approach to action that doesn’t rely solely on spectacle, but also draws on story and character. Screen Anarchy praised his written-and-directed short Bookie for its “flawlessly realized world populated by entirely fleshed out and believable characters, driven by a compelling narrative and brought to sumptuous life.” He has since traveled back to his homeland of Vietnam to work as a feature film editor. His editing credits include Cho Lon, one of Southeast Asia’s highest-budgeted action blockbusters, and Jackpot, a heartfelt comedy selected as Vietnam’s official entry to the 2016 Oscars for Best Foreign Film. Ain’t It Cool News enthusiastically declared Bao as “a director I expect to see big things from.  Please check out our Patreon at @asianhustlenetwork.

Bao Tran, Alain Uy, Ron Yuan, and Mykel Shannon Jenkins // Special Ep // The Paper Tigers

Tran Quoc Bao

It has taken 10 years to get 'The Paper Tigers' onto our screens - a slow and at times painful process full of ups and downs for its director, writer and producer, Tran Quoc Bao. The film - which finally lands in cinemas and on digital platforms in North America on 7 May 2021, courtesy of Well Go USA - is a heart-warming and funny take on the kung fu genre, centring on three former childhood training buddies who reunite in middle age to investigate the sudden death of their old kung fu master. As Bao would soon discover, talent, passion and dedication to the cause will only get you so far in Hollywood. Finding the finance for independent productions is hard enough, but made all the more difficult for kung fu films with people of colour in the lead roles. Bao and his fellow producers refused to compromise or 'whitewash' their story, eventually turning to Kickstarter to raise the money themselves. Filming would eventually take place in his home town of Seattle over a number of years, featuring a cast of leading actors from minority backgrounds: 'Helstrom' and 'True Detective' star, Alain Uy; Ron Yuan - a veteran of martial arts cinema; and Mykel Shannon Jenkins, well-known in action circles for his role as Turbo in 'Undisputed III: Redemption'. Alain, Ron and Mykel speak of the sacrifices Bao and his fellow producers had to make to get the film over the line, and how they responded in kind; each bringing their own wealth of experience as filmmakers to support the project, and helping to realise a unique and personal story about friendship, responsibility, honour, and kung fu.LINKSBook your tickets now to watch 'The Paper Tigers' on the big screen in the USA and Canada: https://www.wellgousa.com/films/the-paper-tigers'The Paper Tigers' trailer: https://youtu.be/uh4KU5Ep4ic'The Paper Tigers' on Twitter: https://twitter.com/_thepapertigers'The Paper Tigers' on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThePaperTigersMovie/'The Paper Tigers' on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_thepapertigers/'The Paper Tigers' review on Kung Fu Movie Guide: https://bit.ly/ThePaperTigersKFMG'The Challenger' (2015) short film: https://youtu.be/gcLNdniNR2MTran Quoc Bao's website: http://pov-films.com/Tran Quoc Bao on IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2041318/Tran Quoc Bao on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/tranquocbaoTran Quoc Bao on Twitter: https://twitter.com/_tranquocbaoTran Quoc Bao on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tranquocbaoTran Quoc Bao on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_tranquocbao/Alain Uy on IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1751175/Alain Uy on Twitter: https://twitter.com/theAlainUyAlain Uy on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alainuy/Ron Yuan on IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0950620/Ron Yuan on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ronyuanRon Yuan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ronyuan/Mykel Shannon Jenkins on IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0420926/Mykel Shannon Jenkins on Twitter: https://twitter.com/mykel_jenkinsMykel Shannon Jenkins on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mykelshannonjenkins/ Hosted on Acast.
