PROJECT: Meals on Wheels with Adrian Castro

I get all sorts of emails lately branded with "Quest for Jackie Chan is dead". But wait on a sec, just because I haven't met Jackie Chan doesn't mean the whole quest world has collapsed. Everything I do is purposeful and I don't believe in failure, just obstacles that tests our capabilities.

So the "Quest" has veered its directions to the making of a quality movie of my journeys (as well as many others) on the "Quest". This Sunday, i spenT a solid 3 hours with film buddy Adrian Castro who is committed in recreating the Meals on Wheels Benny The Jet vs Jackie Chan notorious fight scene.

I was lucky enough to meet Benny The Jet last year (through Misha & Warren Coulton) and ever have been inspired to pay homage to the meet up.

So in the month of April, myself and Mr Castro will be dedicating our 10 solid hours a week in full exploration of fight choreography, training, costume design and location scouting all in the lead up to a full 2 day shoot of one of Jackie's best fight scenes of all time. I will be playing "Jackie" (girl version but with the same hairstyle) while Adrian will be donning "Benny". I look forward to working with Adrian because I know his level of pedanticness and "go hard or go home" attitude will surely push this clip (which will be a part of the "Quest") to the best it can possibly be.

Quest for Jackie Chan! 9 days to Hong Kong Style!

After 19 days across Australia - coming home to $40 in the bank, rushing off to work inthe country NSW region for two months to replenish the funds and now, as I write this, sitting in Mc Donalds Cafe in Melbourne leeching wifi internet setting up all my media equipment - I wonder how the heck did I let one project get so far.

It started out as a "what if?" idea that sprawled into a network of other ideas that grouped together as a crazy drive to see if a nobody like me can meet one of the world's most iconic action superstar - Jackie Chan.

I haven't met him yet. But boy...have I bumped into a host of extraordinary people who have! Seriously! The country of Australia is enriched with some exciting people from stuntspeople, academics, die hard fans, martial artists etc... who have contributed to my project via their interviews and also great support on my online initiatives (Redbubble & Fundbreak).

Now, I'm on a tight deadline - with only 9 days left, I've wrapped up my sideline job in Coffs Harbour, train tripped it back to Sydney to bid my parents farewell (and get the washing done) and flew to Melbourne for the final batch of interviews (Richard Norton, Chris Pang & Daniel Whyte) and film shoot. Then I'll be heading back to Sydney, only to prepare for my road trip to Canberra to score an interview with Benny The Jet.

I will then return to Sydney (wash and pack the clothes) and fly out to Hong Kong!

Stay tune....the adventure continues....
