TJ Kuahine – background music / soundtrack artist

Music producer, artist, Team Alpha Male fighter from Waianae, HI, now living in Sacramento, CA, T.J. Kuahine is a man who doesn’t no the meaning of the word cliche.  So often people get grouped into certain categories by those they choose to associate themselves with.

It would be easy to call T.J. an athlete or jock, because he is, with him being a dedicated mixed martial arts fighter having wrestled through high school and then moving to Sacramento to live and train with UFC superstar Urijah Faber and his Team Alpha Male.  It would also be easy to call him a musician, because he is, with him having produced countless beats for tons of singers, rappers and musicians alike.  The bottom line is T.J. is the perfect example of what it is to go against stereotypes and the norm.

T.J. is many things, as we all are.  And he is not afraid to demonstrate through how he lives what it is to be true to yourself.  A longtime friend of Fight 4 Your Life director Bryan Bachar, T.J. has been part of one studios projects for years, providing music and more.  We are happy to have this talented artist on our team yet again as he aids in the music for F4YL.  We thank you for everything you do $upaFlyTeddy$upaFly!  Keep those beats blastin’ and livin’ the dream.

Check out T.J., his beats, his fights and more on his personal site, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and SoundCloud!

New Teaser!!! – Official Feature Teaser RELEASE!

Supporters, friends, colleagues and all of the above, we are proud to announce the release of the first official teaser trailer for the feature length version of Fight 4 Your Life!  Is it a coincidence that the launch of this trailer falls near the birthday of Fleet Blackwood himself, Mr. Brandon J. Woods???  Nope.  No coincidence at all.  🙂  Happy BDay Mr. Woods!

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:

The executive producer of the project is looking for actors for two upcoming projects of his as well.  Both are union eligible.  SO, if you’re an actor looking to get union cred, holler at us here at F4YL/one studios.  We can send the good word and get you on radar down the line.
Oh, and here’s a link to the mentioned project’s Facebook page…..  🙂

Our Actor DJ Hale On the Rise!

DJ Hale, one of our fantastic actors whose role in the film is soon to be revealed, is making major strides in his acting career.  He’ s getting at it with a ferocity worthy of some words.  In just the last year he’s been cast in at least two feature-length films (including F4YL), a web series based out of Los Angeles and several shorts, at least one of which he’s starring in.  At only 20 years old the sky’s the limit for DJ.  He’s truly dedicated to his craft.  And with his hard work and diligence good things are sure to come in his career.

Director Bryan Bachar has this to say about DJ:

“DJ is one of those people that you can just feel the passion steam from.  When I met him for the first time I could automatically tell his mentality was one of focus and determination.  Much respect.  I’ve had the pleasure to have some great conversations with him.  All I can say is the guy has big dreams, big goals and the right attitude.  I have nothing but confidence in him and I am extremely grateful to have begun a working relationship with DJ.  He’s just another example of the high quality, up and coming talent we have involved in Fight 4 Your Life.”

Get it DJ!  We wish him the best in his endeavors.

If you’re interested in DJ’s career and happenings, check out his Facebook page here.

Brian Jagger

Co-host of FitBody Focused & Weight Loss warrior on FitBodyRadio, Brian Jagger is an entrepreneur, working actor, writer, marketing consultant and personal trainer.  Jagger’s most recent short film screenplay entitled “The Lottery Ticket” is one of the ten winning scripts for the 14th annual Place Called Sacramento Film festival put on by Access Sacramento.  The film premiered October 6th, 2013 @1pm, at the Crest Theater in Sacramento, California.

In early 2013, Jagger helped co-found the video based social media platform VidGage, a social media platform that allows users to post video updates and uniquely allows followers to comment via video replies created through the platform (commenting with video).  VidGage even allows comments on comments.

As a writer Jagger has previously earned a “Best Original Script” ELLY nomination for his original play “The Interviews” which has been produced by three different theater groups in the Sacramento region since 2009.  Jagger also wrote and helped produce the webseries “Now Hiring” which is loosely based upon the play “The Interviews”.  The series can be viewed online at www.NowHiring.TV

As an actor, Jagger earned his Screen Actors Guild eligibility with a principal role in the Paul Thomas Anderson directed movie “The Master” in a scene opposite Phillip Seymour Hoffman (which was unfortunately cut, but still earned Jagger his SAG-E).  Jagger has also had guest lead or primary supporting roles in four different national television shows and has appeared in over a dozen national television show episodes.  He has also been in several regional television commercials and multiple short films.

Jagger also works as a marketing consultant and promotions specialist helping small businesses as well as artists and athletes with their publicity and promotion.  In addition, Jagger works part-time as a Certified Personal Trainer, something he became after losing over 120lbs.

Weighing in at 316lbs, Brian Jagger knew (and was flat out told by his Doctor) things needed to change.  After losing more than 140lbs, Jagger became inspired by those who found inspiration in his success.  To continue to help and inspire others to get fit, Jagger became an ACE Certified Personal Trainer (CPT).  Jagger currently trains and coaches from Anytime Fitness in Roseville, CA.

Far from easy, and littered along the way with more than the usual amount of difficulty, Jagger has lost the weight with more than a short-story to tell.  Marriage and family lost, medical complications, behavior and personality change, criminal activity… all that and more, Jagger has come through.  Fighting through the negative and focusing on getting “back to old Brian”, Jagger has persevered, gotten healthy, built back his family and dedicated himself to helping others get through the challenge of weight loss and fitness transformation, all while avoiding the pitfalls he encountered.

Now that things are “normal” medically for Jagger, he has earned his CPT and is proud to be helping others in their fitness goals.  He has also begun the foundations for his professional writing and acting career.

Brian came onto Fight 4 Your Life after having met creator Bryan Bachar via mutual colleague Marc Gardner.  Both Brian and Bryan had small roles in Marc’s short film, The Within.  Since then Brian has been in several one studios productions, including landing a role in F4YL.  We’re thrilled to have Mr. Jagger on board and look forward to continuing to build a lasting relationship!

Keenan Johnston

Brian Keenan Johnston has worked in public-policy and communications since 1985.  This work entails public speaking, non-profit administration, ‘community organizing’ and effective advocacy.  Principally based in Sacramento, he has worked with legislators throughout the world as an advocate for the medically vulnerable, having testified and worked legislation in all of the state capitols of the Mountain and Pacific states, as well as Washington, D.C., and the national legislatures of New Zealand, Australia, Belgium, and South Africa.

As an administrator of a non-profit corporation and a public-policy and communications adviser, Brian provides advice predicated on creatively achieving three basic goals:
 
1) affirming the dignity of the human person.
2) communicating in an accessible, entertaining and motivating way
3) giving effective agency to the ideas expressed…”GET IT DONE” (‘Activity is not the same as accomplishment’)

 

As the single, most effective tool of mass communications is the moving image, Brian has made a specialty of focus on the medium of film as both art and business, having ‘cut-his teeth’ in the employ of an entertainment law firm in the 1970’s.  As an avocation he has subsequently worked films and documentary productions throughout the world, and on both sides of the camera.

Keenan, which is Brian’s stage name, has acted in many film productions over the years.  It was in 2011 that he met F4YL director Bryan Bachar for a short film project called Passerby (Pass Her Bye), in which Keenan played the lead role.  Since this film, Keenan has been a loyal friend and colleague to the one studios crew, having been in several other one studios films.  So, it was a no brainer to ask Keenan to be a part of the Fight 4 Your Life feature film project, as he had also been in the short film version of F4YL in 2012.

Yes, we’re more than pleased to have Mr. Johnston reprise his role, as it’s always a pleasure to work with him…and his comedic antics on set.  He’s a busy guy who never seems to rest!  In fact, if this character actor is not in front of the camera, he’s behind it, also partaking in running events such as the Life Fest Film Festival in Hollywood, CA.  Truly, we are fortunate to have Keenan aboard.  And we wish him nothing but success in his adventures, giving him the same ongoing support he has given Fight 4 Your Life, and one studios!

Be sure to check out the Life Fest Film Festival!

Ellis Rodriguez

Originally born in Boston, Ellis Rodriguez is by far the funniest of nine children raised by loving immigrant parents from Panama.  Living in a multi-racial, uni-cultural family gave him a unique perspective on life.  He grew up speaking Spanish at home, English at church, and Ebonics in school.

Ellis Rodriguez spent his early twenties serving in the United States Marine Corps, but found his calling when he picked up a mic, and did what he’d been doing his whole life, entertaining anyone who would listen.  And now countless are listening, and laughing.  His commanding presence, charming personality and hilarious material make him one of the best up and coming comics today.

Ellis Rodriguez’s passion for stand up comedy is evident whenever he performs, as he is a favorite at comedy clubs across the West Coast, including the Improv, Laugh’s Unlimited, Tommy T’s, PepperBelly’s and the Laugh Factory.  This Latino/former Marine is smart and charismatic, and always full of surprises.  An energetic performer, his comedy is appealing to any comedy audience.

And it was his comedic appeal, as well as his overall acting ability, that caught the eyes of the one studios crew.  The funny thing is (pun intended) we nearly lost Ellis on this project, due to personal obligations of his.  Luckily, it all worked out.  And we are extremely happy to have this talent be a part of Fight 4 Your Life.  We know this is just the beginning of a beautiful, and hilarious, relationship.

Check Ellis out at a comedy show near you!  Here is his official site at www.ellisrodriguez.com.  Of course, he is also on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.  Check out this snippet from one of his performances!  WARNING: EXPLICIT CONTENT
