Relic Hunt Now Up
Hopefully you guys remember the teaser I put up for Relic Hunt, but that’s okay if you don’t since the full short has been released. The film stars Edward Kahana, Caitlyn Corson, Alvin Hsing, Lucas Okuma, and Bryan Cartago. These guys (and gals) put a lot of work into this short, and it shows.
Don’t take my word for it, though, see for yourself:
I think Relic Hunt is a solid short with some good action. I love the part where Alvin fixes his glasses mid-fight, but there are so many amazing exchanges in here it’s hard to pick a favorite moment. I also enjoyed how how they credited Lucas as the “most discriminating assassin in the world.”
I can’t wait to see what they do with the characters and story, as it would be very easy to turn this into a series or something. Great job to everyone involved, and I can’t wait to see what’s next!

Catching Up: Indie Version
Next up is the Indie crowd. There have been a lot of project, and I wanted to spotlight them so you could see everybody’s hard work.
First up is Relic Hunt, a film starring Edward Kahana, Alvin Hsing, Bryan Cartago, and Lucas Okuma. Here is the synopsis for the film:
Treasure hunter Trey Arcqeo is tasked by the Oxford Museum to recover the ancient Plates of Siddhartha and finds himself in the remote hills of an abandoned mining community. However, he is not alone.
What’s that? A trailer? Of course there’s a trailer!
Relic Hunt already looks awesome and I’ve only seen 57 seconds of it. Everybody that is working on the film is super talented, and I know the end product will meet (if not exceed) our expectations.

Next on the list is a short film called Impulse. It was choreographed and directed by Tolga Degirmen and Hannes Pastor. There isn’t really much for me to say except that it’s a pretty good video and a lot of talented people worked on it.
