“Storyline: In a time of civil war, a young warrior is given the task of delivering a treaty between two rival lords. During her journey through the woods however, she finds herself hunted by two assassins intent on intercepting her message of peace in a bid to maintain the fear, instability and violent rule of their leader.”
You have five minutes
to watch this black and white
short film.
The quick samurai flick,
simply known as 'Pre Vis Action',
comes written and directed
by Gareth Evans,
best known for crafting the duo
The Raid: Redemption (2011)
and The Raid 2 (2014).
He released it last year
to play around
with some fight choreography
and to "see if we could
create something non-violent
for my kiddo."
As I wait to see
a new full-length from him
(whispers about a movie
this was a nice find
while looking for my fix.
If you need more from Evans,
check out his short,
Safe Haven,
in the V/H/S 2 anthology.
It still haunts me.
