Secret Asian Man - UWD

Secret Asian Man finds his first job, but there are some snags in the way *Notes* This is a just a short film poject for a Sheridan College course in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. This was made for an Introductory to Film and Genre Study course. The genre we chose to work on was Film Noir, but looking at the end product I would say it was a parody of Noir/Action films. Almost like the farcical elements you would find in spoofs like The Naked Gun Trilogy or National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon, but more tame. The movie limit for the short film was four minutes. The extra 27 seconds were just for credits. We submitted this project to the professor on April 12th, 2006. There were many influences that went into making the movie: - Japanese Anime - Spaghetti Western style of stripping audio and replacing it with dubs and sound effects - The Matrix (of course) - Films Noir (Maltese Falcon, Double Indemnity and T-Men) - Basic Hollywood story structure line - Brechtian methods - But ultimately taking the best of the best B movie level of acting This short film project was so much fun to make and I think it shows in the final product. I hope some of you will find some humour and entertainment in this. If not, then I guess we have more learning to do. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy it!
