MISTER (Germany, 2014)

writer / director / choreography

An evil organization is after something Zhan Fei (Felix Fukuyoshi) has. After two henchman fail to retrieve the goods, the evil boss has to send his guitar wielding killer (Lorenz Hideyoshi) to handle the job.

A scene from the Korean action thriller “Man from Nowhere” served as inspiration for this short film. While tweaking  the characters and style of action I came up with the concept of using a  guitar as a weapon. The guitar-fu sequence was great fun to choreograph as we had never done anything like that before. 

Shoutout to the many friends that helped out with filling out roles and operating the camera!
