Africa: A Kung Fu Story

Hey Friends! It’s not often I get to find projects I’m this passionate about and I wanted to share. What you’re looking at is the first two minutes I scored of a documentary titled Africa: A Kung Fu Story. From the second I saw the original trailer I wanted to be a part of this.

Eric Mazimpaka is a stunt man who’s worked on shows like Arrow, Supernatural, D.C. Legends of Tomorrow and many more. Him and his fellow stunt friends flew out to Tanzania to shed light on this Kung fu dojo and inspire an entire new generation of film makers and stunt men and women. I love that they not only came to film all the amazing work they’ve been doing, but they also left them with the tools they needed to create their own films as well.

The children in this dojo will also be featured in their up coming feature film "Ghosts in the Canopy" (I’ll be working on that with them too.)

Eric and his team are such a dope, passionate and gifted group of individuals. I’m honored to be welcomed on to their team for their next project titled Ghosts in the Canopy. Be on the lookout for this documentary releasing sometime next year!
