Behind the Scenes: Tony vs Speed Bag! (VIDEO)

Tony “The Tiger” Lopez still has it!  Watch as Tony demonstrates his speed bag prowess in front of his fellow cast and crew while on set at Center Ring Boxing.  Tony had to shut some peeps up that day on set who called him out…hm hm…Brandon J. Woods.  How could he be doubted?!  Tony was a 3x world champ after all.  Good stuff Tone Loc!

End Results of Our IndieGoGo Campaign to Fund Final Shoots

Thank you to everyone who took the time to shout out our now ended IndieGoGo funding campaign over the last 45 days.  We greatly appreciate your efforts!  And, of course, thank you so much to our generous donors!  We were able to raise nearly 30% of our goal for this campaign.  Now, that might not seem very good.  But that will at least guarantee the utmost minimal necessities to make Fight 4 Your Life‘s final shoots later this summer go forward.  That is a success in my book!

Remember, for those of you who missed out on donating that wanted to, you and your friends, family, colleagues and more can still donate directly via Fight4YourLifeMovie.com by clicking on the DONATE buttons spread throughout the site.  We will still honor the perk rewards detailed on the IndieGoGo page through this donation method as well.  So, be sure to check those out and read over the details!  You can also read up on our funding details on the Funding Campaign page of Fight4YourLifeMovie.com.

However, please note the automatic entry into our drawing for 2 free tickets to the F4YL premiere in December will not be honored after June 29, 2014, as we are choosing the 5 lucky winners on the final day of June.  If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact the one studios crew here.

The one studios crew is currently settling up the arrangements for the final shoots to be held in July or August of this summer, 2014.  In the mean time, we are continuing to shoot the remainder pickup shots of anything we can without our lead actor, Brandon J. Woods, who will be coming back out from Massachusetts to finish the film.  Getting Mr. Woods’ travel taken care of was a big part of why we held this IndieGoGo campaign, in addition to securing the funds for insurance, permits and more.

We will be keeping you all up to date as to what’s going on.  Expect some cool stuff ahead as we continue to add more bios, media and info to the site, travel to events to promote F4YL and…..drum roll please….prepare to launch our full length trailer upon the completion of filming!  Good stuff coming everyone!  Thank you for joining the fight!

 

All the best,

 

Bryan Bachar

Director

 

 

 

Bryan Bachar – creator / director / producer

Bryan wants nothing more than to make Fight 4 Your Life something worthy of everyone’s time and efforts.  He believes it can be a film that people from all walks of life can appreciate, whether due to its fun, action-based structure, its more philosophical side, its dramatic, hero’s struggle storyline, or even because of its athletic competition mindset.  Character relationships play a big part of F4YL too, hopefully allowing viewers to see deeper into the souls of the characters and better relate to them.  Heck, there are even some pretty crazy fantasy elements mixed in there for the fan boy types!  Fight 4 Your Life has a little something for everyone.

Bryan works as owner and chief creative media producer / director of one studios, the home-grown production company putting F4YL together.  No matter if a piece of the puzzle or harnessing entire projects, one studios aims to bring a single vision to life.  B pushes himself to rep this aspect of one studios, always.  Whatever he can do to help, he’s your guy! 

Over the years Bryan has worked in many different areas of production to earn and expand upon his skill sets, including film, television, industrial, corporate, academic, performance, athletics, music and more.  His experience has allowed him to become an all-arounder in digital film and media production.  That flexibility brings a variety of jobs his way.  One day he might work as a director of photography and camera operator.  The next day he may work as a sound recordist, D.I.T or media manager.  And boy has he spent many hours behind a desk editing!  But B definitely considers directing to be his area of focus.  It’s been his goal from the start to know enough about the many aspects of production to be able to lead a team with legitimate understanding of their work.  

In addition to pounding the pavement for partners / clients that directly hire one studios, Bryan also often serves as a contractor for fellow production companies, which continues to allow him to regularly meet new crew members, talent and just plain awesome people.  His contract work has taken him to far off destinations.  And many of the relationships he’s made have lead to people coming aboard and/or supporting Fight 4 Your Life in some fashion.  This project has benefited greatly from the professionalism such folks bring to the table. 

B has been creating short films and working on other artists’ film productions for over two decades.  Fight 4 Your Life is the culmination of his experience and knowledge to this point in his career, representing his first full length feature that he has taken on for himself and one studios…..a huge step in the dream!  Day by day he continues to form one studios into the film production house that he envisioned way back in the early 2000’s.  

Out of college he spent some time down in LA working for ABC Family and then decided to make the track back up to NorCal to play his hand his own way…..a decision that allowed him to meet his wife, who eventually got him to relocate from the Sacramento area to the Bay Area, where he now resides with her, their little man and, of course, their best boy, Teddy. 

Forever appreciative of the fine people who continue to help make this project happen, Bryan is well aware of the responsibility he has to get this film done.  Despite the many struggles along the lengthy journey, he’s lived this project for the better part of a decade.  His ambition to tell a story of such scope with limited resources could be viewed as flawed.  It’s definitely a bit crazy!  But the community behind Fight 4 Your Life shows what dedication and teamwork can achieve.

 

“I just want to take a moment to full-heartedly thank everyone involved in Fight 4 Your Life.  This film could not happen without the team’s effort.  It’s a community collaboration.  Because of each and every one of you, what was once simply words on paper is now becoming a viewable piece of art, able to be appreciated and connected to by countless minds to come.  It’s our little mark for the books.  And it’s only the beginning for full length features to come from one studios!  Thank you.  Your hard work and dedication will pay off.  And know that once you’re part of the one studios Family you’re always part of the one studios Family.  Now let’s keep making the magic happen.  Believe it.  Do it.”

 

B continues to dedicate himself to making sure every ounce of time, work and funding that has went into Fight 4 Your Life is well rewarded to all involved in the process.  How?  First by finishing the movie, of course.  And then by getting it out into the world.  After such a long road, it’s understandable that the end game of this project is often questioned.  But Bryan is an open book and welcomes inquiries with answers.  Feel free to ask.

Expect more films and other projects out of one studios in the coming year, all directed and produced by B.  These films are currently in post production and will be a great way for you to touch base with one studios while you wait ever so patiently for Fight 4 Your Life’s completion.  For more on Bryan, check out his website at www.BryanBachar.com, which is long overdue for an update.  He’s pushing himself to get that done and get back on posting updates and such regularly.  You can also follow him and connect to him on his various social media outlets, such as Facebook, Twitter, Vimeo, Behance, LinkedIn, MySpace, YouTube, SoundCloud, Tumblr, Ustream, HitRECord and Instagram……yes, he’s actually on all these.  🙂  And he invites you to touch base with him!

Of course, you can also reach B via www.onestudios.net, which is slated for a huge update very soon.  Be on the lookout!  If you would like to book B for a collaborative project or discuss such with him, please contact him HERE.  If your project is more of an all inclusive production effort meant for a production company to completely take hold of, please contact B with one studios HERE.

Jonathan Calizar – fight choreographer / casting associate

Sixth Degree Black Belt KJN, Jonathan Calizar, has been training with Ernie Reyes’ West Coast Martial Arts since the age of four.  He has traveled nationally with the Ernie Reyes Demonstration Team.  He is experienced in Tae Kwon Do, Wu-shu, gymnastics and a variety of martial arts.

With thirteen years of teaching experience, Jonathan still follows his passion for instructing students.  Having moved to Folsom, CA in July of 2004, he proudly has honored the opportunity to teach the Martial Arts way.  One of his favorite quotes comes from Kwan Jang Nim Scott Coker,

 

“It’s not the teacher who teaches, it’s how the teacher teaches.”

 

Jonathan says,

 

“I’ve learned a lot in my brief lifespan, but what I will always remember are all the people who supported me.  Unfortunately, the list would never end!  So to everyone who supported me in the decisions I’ve made, I want to thank you for being there for me, and I will forever be indebted to you.”

 

Jonathan has served as a fight and stunt choreographer for Fight 4 Your Life, having met director Bryan Bachar through mutual colleague, and dear friend to B, Eliot Kelly.  B was amazed at the crazy acrobatics and high-flying kicks Jonathan could execute with precision.

 

“There was without a doubt Jonathan had to be a part of this film.  His abilities separate him from the pack.  He’s the kind of guy that you watch and say, yeah, he’s a professional.  Jon belongs in the movies.”  – Bryan Bachar aka B

 

And lucky for Bryan, Jonathan’s flare carries over into his attitude on camera as well.  A natural actor, he also plays one of the main villains in F4YL.  Working with lead Brandon J. Woods, a fight everyone is sure to remember was choreographed.

We thank Jonathan for his continued support and dedication to Fight 4 Your Life.  His energy and positive attitude has been addictive…and during the long shoots we need that!  Like a handful of F4YL‘s cast and crew members, Jonathan has been with this project since the very start, having also been in the F4YL short film in 2012.  This just shows the character of Mr. Calizar, as he is truly a loyal friend and a man of his word.  The one studios crew forever thanks you Jonathan.  We are in YOUR debt!

Check Jonathan out on the official El Dorado Hills West Coast Martial Arts site, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter!

Logan Williams – camera op / assistant camera / assistant director

Logan Williams is a filmmaker and writer from Sacramento, CA with a M.F.A. in film production from Loyola Marymount University in Southern California.  Logan’s passion for film making far exceeds simple words.  He has made it his career, his life.

 

“What is film to me?  Film is that which I cannot make real, seem real.  Altogether one might say that film overall is a lie, a compromise that states something.  In that statement then I want to find and reveal a truth that I would be otherwise unable to do in this thing we call life.”  – Logan Williams

 

Having gained immense experience while living in Los Angeles for close to a decade, Logan has worked on many film and video projects, many being his own short films.  He takes great pride in his film making, not sparing any details.

This has been apparent to Fight 4 Your Life creator, Bryan Bachar since first meeting Logan in 2011:

 

“I met Logan when we joined up to do a 48 Hour Film contest in Sacramento.  Over the duration of that weekend I saw his passion for film making and his eye for detail.  He is a story teller, something I hold great value for, as you need to be one in order to be a solid filmmaker.  Since that project I’ve been fortunate to witness Logan continue to grow into the artist I could tell he was then.  Sky’s the limit for this dude!”

 

Logan has regularly aided one studios on projects over the years, whether video based or films.  In fact, he came up from Southern California way back in 2012  to help shoot the short film version of Fight 4 Your Life, which started everything.  We wish nothing but the best for this honorary member of the one studios crew.  And we thank him for all his hard work and dedication.  Get ’em Logan!

Check Logan out on IMDb, Vimeo, LinkedIn and Facebook.  Here’s one of Logan’s films one studios aided him on!

F4YL “Intro” Teaser Trailer (Feature Film) (VIDEO)

This is the first official teaser trailer of Fight 4 Your Life, the feature film debut from one studios.  Unlike trailers in the past, which have used footage from the short film version of F4YL, from which the F4YL feature stems, this is the first trailer that uses all actual footage from the upcoming full length film.  We hope you enjoy and are intrigued.  That’s what a teaser is meant to do!

 

 

Our goal with this trailer is to gain curiosity about our humble project here, as we realize there is much left to mystery even after watching it.  That’s the point amigos.  Teased yet?  😉

Keep your eyes peeled for more trailers in the near future, including the full length theatrical trailer, which will go into more depth about the film’s story and such.  For more info on F4YL be sure to check out the plethora of resources on this site.  Read up on character descriptions, cast and crew bios, the film’s plot, it’s origins and journey and more.  There’s also lots of awesome media for you to view and listen to.  Heck, there’s even free downloads for your enjoyment!

Ok, enough blabbing.  Here’s the trailer.  You can also view the “Running” teaser trailer, made from footage of the short film version of F4YL, HERE.  It might be fun to compare and contrast the two.

FIGHT!!!

F4YL “Running” Teaser Trailer (Short Film Version) (VIDEO)

The following teaser trailer was developed from the footage we shot in 2012 for the short film version of Fight 4 Your Life.  Our goal with this teaser was to demonstrate to the best of our abilities at the time the style and color schemes we were going to go for in developing the Fight 4 Your Life feature length film.  It’s important to note that the short was not shot with much of the color schemes, style, visual FX and more depicted in this trailer in mind.  So, it was a challenge to tweak things to a respectable level for what we wanted.

 

 

With that said, we were also aiming for this teaser to gather enough interest to gain the support of our local filmmaking community.  This was very important in the casting and development process, and more, because it allowed potential cast and crew to see we had a vision, and that we were not simply talking about it.  The teaser also showed we had already put in a lot of work on this project, further illustrating our seriousness about it coming to fruition.

The short film version of F4YL has only been seen by a select few people involved in that production.  We’ve held off showing it to people because it would reveal too much story line of the feature, which shares the same basic structure, even if immensely more detailed and added to.  Truly, they are two different films with strong likenesses, if that makes sense.  But we want that to be seen later, not now!

The actual finished version of the short has been seen by even fewer eyes since the version showed to most people was a rough cut.  Director/editor Bryan Bachar was already in heavy with the feature version of F4YL when he completed tying things up with the short.  So, there you go.

Plan to definitely see the short version of F4YL in the future though, likely on the DVD under special features when everything is said and done!  Then viewers can compare and contrast to all their hearts’ desire.  Anyway, here’s the teaser!  Can you see the similarities between it’s style, color schemes and more and those of the current feature version teaser trailer?  Check the feature “Intro” teaser trailer HERE.

Another Set of Shoots Down!

Happy New Year everyone!  We truly hope your holiday season was a fantastic time, spent with all of your loved ones.

The one studios crew has been working diligently to ensure Fight 4 Your Life stays true to its course.  The holidays may have been upon us, but we continued to push!  From January 1st through January 5th we had F4YL star Brandon J. Woods back from the east coast, where he is attending the Harvard School of Medicine, to shoot a string of scenes.  The shoots went great!  And it was awesome to have Brandon, aka Fleet Blackwood, back on set.

As we progress into 2014….WOW…..one studios will be shooting further scenes/shots without Mr. Woods during the months of January, February and March.  Our teenage Fleet, Antonio Mulqueeney, will be taking the reins for several of these shoots.  Wish him luck!

In addition to these shoots, we will be preparing with much vigor for having Brandon back in the spring for his final shoots, which happen to be the final scenes that will be needed for Fight 4 Your Life‘s completion!!!  Exciting news indeed!  We can’t wait to finish, but we are taking in every moment of this journey.  It’s priceless.  And we have some great stuff coming for you to check out over the coming months to show our progress….one being the first official teaser trailer for F4YL!!!

Thank you, as always, to everyone involved throughout this strenuous process.  And for those that are not directly involved, thank you for your support!  Fight 4 Your Life would not be possible without each and every one of you.  A very special thanks to all of the location providers for this past week’s shoots:
