PAPER

I had the incredible opportunity to speak with the team responsible for The Paper Tigers, an amazing martial arts film that blends comedy and action to deliver an experience worthy of a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score. The director, Bao Tran, the producer, Al'n Duong, and the action choreographer, Ken Quitugua, all chatted with me about their experience putting the film together, the combination of martial arts that are involved, and the process it took to put together such a revered film. Enjoy this exclusive interview, and then be sure to check out The Paper Tigers, which is available on digital now and on Blu-ray &amp; DVD June 22 from Well Go USA Entertainment.SHOW LESS

The Paper Tigers: Bao Tran & Ken Quitugua | How to Direct a Kung Fu Action-Comedy Feature Film

"THE PAPER TIGERS" is a fresh take on a familiar kung fu movie trope and Director, BAO TRAN mixes it up as he sprinkles in some honest characters with genuine belly laughs along with some good kung fu. Bao, along with Producer YUJI OKUMOTO and Action Director KEN QUITUGUA stop by the Kung Fu Drive-In Live room on Clubhouse to talk about the nearly decade long journey to bring The Paper Tigers to the big screen. Like the main characters of the film, this is a tale of perseverance, dedication, and sticking to your guns in the face of some larger than life obstacles.  THE PAPER TIGERS SITE: http://pov-films.com/thepapertigers/ INSTAGRAMS: THE PAPER TIGERS: _thepapertigers BAO TRAN: @_tranquocbao YUJI OKUMOTO: yuji_okumoto KEN QUITUGUA: kungfukenny_official   SUPPORT THE KUNG FU DRIVE-IN PODCAST WITH A KO-FI: https://ko-fi.com/kungfudrivein We discuss, debate and dissect kung fu movies and martial arts cinema &amp; tv, past, present, and future!  SPONSORS: www.tinboxsolutions.com www.wearenotgoodpeople.com   OUTRO MUSIC: http://youtu.be/5zeRoGFft2s  by Justin H @KingofKungFuAMP
