Cityonfire.com is proud to announce the 1st Annual The Urban Action Showcase, which will be taking place in New York City. This 3-day event is an independent action showcase and film festival which focuses on minority filmmakers, specifically in the action film genre.
With the help of sponsors – such as Cinemax, Warner Bros, Alan Goldberg’s Action Martial Arts Magazine and Megahoot – the purpose of this event is to recognize, promote, facilitate, and encourage the participation of ethnic minority filmmakers in the action film genre.
It will also be your chance to meet iconic action stars such as: “The Hammer“ Williamson (Three the Hard Way), Pam Grier (Foxy Brown, Jackie Brown), Ron Van Clief (Way of the Black Dragon), Rick Yune (Olympus Has Fallen), Ben Ramsey (director of Blood and Bone), Kelly Hu (The Scorpion King), Michael Jai White (Blood and Bone) and Jeff Imada (stunt choreographer).
