Maria Trần ready for action in ‘Echo 8’.
Actress, filmmaker, martial artist and fight coordinator Maria Trần had long wanted to direct a film but nobody asked her, so she decided to self-fund, co-produce, direct and star in Echo 8.
In the midst of a hectic 11-day shoot in Sydney’s Western suburbs, she is playing a highly trained assassin in the psychological thriller scripted by her sister Elizabeth H. Vu.
Her character code-named Echo 8 grew up in a dysfunctional family, runs away, gets kidnapped and is then raised in the underworld as an assassin. The twist: She has no memory of her previous life.
Takashi Hara plays Agent 5, Echo 8’s boss and mentor, with David Vuong as fellow agent Delta 1, Mike Leeder as her nemesis Z12 and Gabby Chan as Hanh. The DOPs are Adam McPhilbin and Nancy Trieu.
It’s the first feature from Phoenix Eye Film & Media Production,...
