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.

F4YL Going Strong! Need Dojo or Lobby Type Location

Fight 4 Your Life has now been filming for the better part of 4 weeks.  And we’re still going strong!  We had an excellent shoot on Sunday, August 4th in Roseville, CA.  Below is a still from some of the awesome footage that was captured.

Teen Fleet & his Opponent size each other up

 

We currently are searching for one of the following location types to film an important scene in the film within the next 1-2 weeks preferably:

  • Lobby able to be viewed from outside due to large open window.
  • Karate or Martial Arts type dojo with large open window allowing someone outside to watch what’s going on inside.

Either of these locations should be in more urban parts of town.  So, think city streets or older parts of town, including neighborhoods.  Let us know what you got!  Understand that most of this scene will be filmed from the outside looking in.  So, very little will be needed in the way of taking up the time of the location owner.  Please contact us for more details.  Hopefully, we can collaborate!  Thanks for your time.

Fight 4 Your Life‘s lead, Brandon J. Woods recently made the move to the Ivy League.  Yes, that’s right.  Brandon is now a Harvard man.

When last spoken to by friend and director Bryan Bachar, Brandon told Bryan:

 

“I’m loving it out here man.   A lot to take in at the moment.  But, hey, rest assured I’m looking forward to flying back out to finish my scenes.  I see this as an opportunity to represent Fight 4 Your Life and one studios on the east coast.  You know there ain’t no bigger city than the Big Apple baby!  F4YL is about to blow up!!!”

– Brandon J. Woods

aka Fleet Blackwood

Brandon J. Woods

Scientist, musician, Fight 4 Your Life lead / co-producer and overall Renaissance Man, Brandon J. Woods knows the hunger of earnest desire, the recipe for ambition, and the savory taste of achievement. Born in an inner-city drug stricken community of the late 1980s, Brandon emerged from humble beginnings. Concomitantly, he understands the nature of adversity and the will to overcome. As an adolescent, Brandon possessed a strong appreciation for the arts and science, interests that would eventually mature into a passion for music, acting and biomedical research. After graduating high school, Brandon matriculated into the University of California, Davis, where he would obtain a Bachelors of Science degree in Microbiology while concurrently developing his talents as an athlete, songwriter and musical producer.

Following his years as an undergraduate, Brandon continued to refine his skills as an artist while also attaining his Masters Degree in Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco.  As of the fall of 2013, Brandon now resides in Boston, MA, having matriculated into Harvard School of Medicine, where he is currently earning his PhD.

Brandon has a special affinity for F4YL, and particularly the character of Fleet Blackwood. Brandon says:

 

“Fleet’s story embodies the very essence of my life; the tale of an ambitious boy from a broken home, burdened with the weight of the world on his shoulders; however, blessed with the virtue of sincerity and conviction, is a story I have lived on all accounts.  Moreover, I am deeply moved by the moral undertone of the film.  I am a firm believer that the undertaking of great success and happiness in life is predicated upon self belief, principality and faith.  I feel F4YL does a wholesome job at illustrating the importance of all 3 attributes.”

 

Brandon ended his statement about the movie by saying:

 

“Furthermore, what better a thing to fight for than the vitality of one’s dreams?  Fore, a life without the vitality of wonder is no life at all.”

 

In addition to helping off camera as a co-producer on the project, Brandon plays Fleet Blackwood, the protagonist of Fight 4 Your Life.  We are thankful to have Brandon back for this feature length version of F4YL, with Brandon also having played the role of Fleet in the short version of F4YL from 2012.  Truly, Fight 4 Your Life is fortunate to have someone on board with the multitude of passion, talents and dedication Brandon possesses.

Kaveh Rezaie

A dedicated actor and father, Kaveh was approached to play the principal role of Ahiga Montejo in Fight 4 Your Life.  After an excellent audition, it was apparent Kaveh was perfect for the character.

 

“My producer Alonzo Chism and I knew he was right for Ahiga as soon as he left the room.  His mellow attitude and willingness to dive into the character made it an easy decision.“

– Bryan Bachar   Director

 

Throughout the production process Kaveh has been a huge help, not only by being a very professionally-minded actor, but also by often lending a hand behind the scenes.  Without his diligence, patience and focus, F4YL would not be turning out to be the fantastic film it is.

Kaveh resides in Sacramento with his lovely wife and children.  He is thoroughly thrilled to be a part of Fight 4 Your Life and is dedicated to the process of seeing the film through to its completion.  Truly, Kaveh is a man of his word, someone every filmmaker would be lucky to have aboard.  We thank him for his continued hard work.

Tony “The Tiger” Lopez

3x World Champion Tony “The Tiger” Lopez is a name many people know when it comes to boxing.  A Sacramento native, Tony had a stellar professional boxing career, having had the kind of success all boxers strive for.  Out of the ring, Tony has continued to serve as an example of leadership and professionalism, owning and operating his own business for over a decade now.  Not unlike the character of Tony in F4YL, Tony acts as a role model and community leader.  He has played a key role in Fight 4 Your Life’s success so far, aiding our cast and crew throughout the production process.

 

“When Tony came in to audition, I have to admit, I didn’t know who the hell he was.  I love boxing, but I’m not going to lie and say I follow it closely, although I can definitely see myself doing so more after this production.  All I knew is he was a former boxer who had some acting experience.  It was a funny circumstance really, because I had created the character of Tony “The Tiger” Mercado long before I even met Tony.  So, when he came to the audition and I learned of his name and nickname, I cracked up.  Then, when I saw the personality he possessed, I soon realized it was meant to be.  He was perfect for the role.  He was Tony “The Tiger” Mercado.  

Tony has been a savior when it comes to this production.  Constantly helping the cause, he has spent time training our actors, choreographing fight sequences and pulling strings to get us key locations.  Not only is Tony a huge factor in the success of this film so far, he is also just a good dude.  I am nothing but happy to know him.  Like so many other persons I’ve gotten to know through this process, I look forward to having Tony not only as a colleague, but as a genuine friend, for the years to come.“

– Bryan Bachar    Director

 

Taking on the biggest role of his acting career, Tony is elated to be a part of Fight 4 Your Life.  The hours he has put into this project are enormous.  And he knows it will all be worth it in the end.  His professionalism and dedication are highly appreciated.
