Feature Film: Kung Fu Flid

Over the course of Thursday and Saturday I traveled to Aldgate East train station and walked the 10 minutes to Brick Lane where filming for the feature film ‘Kung Fu Flid’ took place. The location of both days shooting were in a 6700 square feet of unique space in central London called The Rag Factory: a disused factory which is now hired out to film crews and photographers wanting to take advantage of the huge clean white space.

This unconventional martial arts project tells the story of Jimmy, a thalidomide short armed kung fu star and his other half Lu, who are trying to get their daughter back from the claws of child trafficking gangsters who, unbeknown to them, want to fry her in acid. In turns shocking, hilarious and touching KUNG FU FLID is an ultra violent contemplation on the meaning of life. The film, starring MAT FRASER, FAYE TOZER (Steps, ‘Lady Godiva Back in the Saddle’), FRANK HARPER (‘Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels’ & ‘This IS England’) and HELEN WATKINS also introduced the breathtakingly gorgeous model KITTY LEA and is written & directed by award winning writer and director Xavier Leret. The producer is JONATHAN SOTHCOTT (’Wishbaby’) and the executive Producer is TERRY STONE (’Rise of the Footsoldier’, ‘Doghouse’) The film will be available to download exclusively at Film Lounge - from November.

On Thursday and Saturday I filmed torture and fight scenes with Helen Watkins, Dan Poole, Frank Harper, Andrew, Shawn Birch and Mat Fraser. The torture scene saw me wheel in ‘Andrew’ a disabled man who gets tortured via a glaswegian smile. The other scenes filmed were me knocking Jimmy out with a hook punch to the back of the head. As well as a full blown fight scene that lasts between 2-3 minutes.
