Indie filmmaker Leroy Nguyen – writer, director and star of the gritty festival favorites Black Scar Blues and Silverback – will soon return with The Brokenhearted, his latest upcoming action thriller from Rising Tiger Films and 02 Hero Media.
The Brokenhearted also stars Samuel Joon Lee, Jackie Kim, Travis Davis, Gene Rush and Alex Au.
If you’re not familiar with his work, Nguyen’s influences are taken from the likes of Martin Scorsese, Takeshi Kitano and Nicolas Winding Refn. He’s known for his raw, gritty style of choreographed action, tucked between emotional storylines that follow flawed, but relatable characters.
Look out for The Brokenhearted soon. Until then, don’t miss the film’s New Trailer below:
Good looking trailer. It takes a certain something to make a movie that would still be interesting if there weren’t any fight scenes.
I’m going to have to agree with you. The trailer has some nice tension. Where can I watch this??
Thanks a lot for checking out the trailer! We’re actually doing a festival run soon. The film just got accepted at The Urban Action Showcase International Film Festival and will be screening November 9th, 2024 at the AMC Theater in Times Square, NYC.
I’m hoping to have the film released by late this year/early next year on Blu-Ray and streaming. To be quite honest though, this really is a DIY, backyard independent sort of film, so the priority was just to get it finished and to get it as good as it could be. That said, we didn’t really have a marketing strategy, and I don’t expect much on the festival circuit (I’ve learned film festivals aren’t really much of anything nowadays anyway). I really don’t want to shamelessly plug my social media channels, because I hate social media…but if you follow Rising Tiger Films on Facebook and Instagram, as well as on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@risingtigerfilms?si=cikv6ZW4OhPUd86e), that should keep you up to date with the release.
Thanks again!
