Redra:
It takes a second for a blood droplet to hit the ground..it takes a second for your life to flash before your eyes. A Coup, A Villain, A Son, A Cop, A Love..A Blood Opera.

Synopsis: After the Shanghai Syndicate Leader is murdered in a blood coup, the murderers are now set on ending his lineage. The boss's bloodline sucessor and son, Lee lives a life full of regretful shame and is now forced to run from his father's killer. He encounters the daughter of a rival clan during his father's funeral..but she is blind. As he rescues her, they're both forced to flee...and finally seek help from an unexpected ally...the cop (ken) in charge of Lee's father's case. A somber story of love, loss, and agony inspired by the tragedies of Shakespeare and Sophocles.

Filmed entirely in Shanghai, China for Stranglehold's Stay True to John Woo contest. We focused on John Woo's philosophical aspects and deep meaning instead of only mindless action our competitors provided. Our goal: to create a short film w/ an immersive tragic tale

As just-turned 19 year olds, this is our first live action film and we learned what we can without any proper education and by just enjoying our most favorite films.

Update*
The 25th marked the deadline of the "Stay True to John Woo" film contest and there has been a surprising amount of development in the gallery. Obviously the competition is strong with an outrageous number of professionals who try to trump the little guys with flasy budgets and an insane amount of crew. Lets show them that those dont matter! Please support Redra starting from the 29th.

Also if you really enjoyed Redra and have a myspace account, please leave a comment and show Redra some support.

Thanks a lot for your support!
 
Hi everyone!
Would like to update everyone on the current situation of the contest. The top 10 films have been posted (available to vote at www.myspace.com/strangleholdgame) and the winning film revealed (leaked actually...official publication will be in August where it would premier on spike TV).
Although we didnt make it to the top 10, we did make it to the semi-finalist phase! Thats a total of 16 videos out of 400!

Again, we would like to thank you all for your support!
PS: I would like to add, if your interested, that there is some drama currently going on the contest concerning the top 10. It seems three of the videos actually void contest eligibility but the sponsors arnt doing anything about it.
