If you haven’t heard of Hawk, you shouldn’t feel bad. Googling it doesn’t bring much up about the project, or its director, Mj McMahon. It is a 38-minute fantasy epic loosely based on Welsh folklore and tells the tale of a boy named Rowen, who is taken away from the civilized world, where his lessons in the wild begin. Yet when he shatters the balance of nature, Rowan discovers another world beneath our own. In that shadowy land of old gods and wild hunts, the divide between man and beast becomes uncertain and the fairy tales of childhood spring to life. With only the guidance of a hunting hawk, Rowan must make amends for his crime, and choose between what is real, and what is not.
The task of scoring this film fell to Stuart Hancock, an award-winning composer who has worked in film, television, commercials, theatre and written concert music.

We first wrote about director Chee Keong Cheung’s independently produced martial arts thriller Bodyguard: A New Beginning way back in September, much taken by the trailer which showed off the cast and style of the thing to great effect. And now those waiting for their chance to see the film have got it: the film hits DVD in the UK tomorrow.
Bodyguard: A New Beginning tells the story of Leung (Vincent Sze), the bodyguard of a Hong Kong Triad boss, Wong (Richard Ng), who is sent to the UK to protect a woman (Stephanie Langton) whose identity is known only by his boss. Even the boss’ own errant son, Yuen (Carl Ng), is kept in the dark. The efforts of a rival boss, Kai (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa) to take over Wong’s territory leads Yuen to a betrayal that threatens to destroy all that his father has worked hard to protect.

Some may remember director Chee Keong Cheung from his work on independent and fiercely low budget fight flick Underground which hit DVD last year and won a good amount of attention for what Cheung and company managed to accomplish on a tiny budget. Underground certainly wasn’t breaking any new ground and it had some significant weaknesses but there was clearly some talent at play there and a good amount of promise for the future. Well, the future is now and we’ve just been passed the brand new trailer for Cheung’s new film - the martial arts drama Bodyguard: A New Beginning.
‘A New Beginning’ focuses around the story of Leung, the bodyguard of a Chinese Triad boss, Wong, to whom his loyalty is unrivaled. Living in Hong Kong, Wong requests that his bodyguard travel to the UK to protect a young British woman, whose true identity is known only by Wong himself.

Oldenburg, Germany -- Emily Atef's "The Stranger in Me" proved to be a triple whammy at this year's Oldenburg International Film Festival, walking away with the German Independence Award for best German film, the Otto-Sprenger Award for best film from northern Germany and the Audience Award.
The jury -- comprising LeVar Burton, filmmaker John Gallagher, producer Jen Gatien, actress Fanny Bastien and producer Rosana Coutinho -- also singled out two performances for special mention: Irina Potapenko's gripping portrait of a doomed prostitute in Gotz Spielmann's "Revanche" and Susanne Wolff for her roles in Jan Schutte's "Die Glucklichen" and the ubiquitous "Stranger in Me."
