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!

Tomicko Abella – costume design / makeup & hair

Tomicko Abella is a fashion designer and all around stylista out of Sacramento, CA.  When she isn’t striving to come up with new clothing, she’s likely kicking back with her young daughter and having some good ole’ fun!

Tomicko came to Fight 4 Your Life through the power of networking.  And, WOW, has she been a huge help!  She is responsible for the stylish apparel, hair and make-up you’ll see on the lustful seductresses in F4YL.

Who are the seductresses?  Be sure to check up regularly on the Characters page here on Fight4YourLifeMovie.com for info on these enticing characters and more.  In the meantime, friend and follow Tomicko on Facebook and Twitter!  Oh, and she’s on MySpace too…yes, MySpace!

Zaco Cox – production assistant / grip

Born Zac Alexander Cox in middle America, Zaco is extremely passionate about the film and television industries.  From his own mouth,

 

“I feel that whatever we capture on camera, then cut and trim to our liking, and deliver to the masses, is rewarding.”

 

Zaco considers entertaining people his craft.  And he is the person you’ve been looking for when it comes to having someone on your team.  We can vouch for that!

The one studios crew is thankful to have had Zaco on board for a duration of shoots for F4YL  in the Summer of 2013.  His grip and production assistant skill sets were a valuable addition to our team.  And we look more than forward to working with Zaco again in the very near future!

Check out Zaco on IMDb, Linkedin and Staff Me Up.

F4YL “Intro” Teaser Trailer (Feature Film) (VIDEO)

This is the first official teaser trailer of Fight 4 Your Life, the feature film debut from one studios.  Unlike trailers in the past, which have used footage from the short film version of F4YL, from which the F4YL feature stems, this is the first trailer that uses all actual footage from the upcoming full length film.  We hope you enjoy and are intrigued.  That’s what a teaser is meant to do!

 

 

Our goal with this trailer is to gain curiosity about our humble project here, as we realize there is much left to mystery even after watching it.  That’s the point amigos.  Teased yet?  😉

Keep your eyes peeled for more trailers in the near future, including the full length theatrical trailer, which will go into more depth about the film’s story and such.  For more info on F4YL be sure to check out the plethora of resources on this site.  Read up on character descriptions, cast and crew bios, the film’s plot, it’s origins and journey and more.  There’s also lots of awesome media for you to view and listen to.  Heck, there’s even free downloads for your enjoyment!

Ok, enough blabbing.  Here’s the trailer.  You can also view the “Running” teaser trailer, made from footage of the short film version of F4YL, HERE.  It might be fun to compare and contrast the two.

FIGHT!!!

F4YL “Running” Teaser Trailer (Short Film Version) (VIDEO)

The following teaser trailer was developed from the footage we shot in 2012 for the short film version of Fight 4 Your Life.  Our goal with this teaser was to demonstrate to the best of our abilities at the time the style and color schemes we were going to go for in developing the Fight 4 Your Life feature length film.  It’s important to note that the short was not shot with much of the color schemes, style, visual FX and more depicted in this trailer in mind.  So, it was a challenge to tweak things to a respectable level for what we wanted.

 

 

With that said, we were also aiming for this teaser to gather enough interest to gain the support of our local filmmaking community.  This was very important in the casting and development process, and more, because it allowed potential cast and crew to see we had a vision, and that we were not simply talking about it.  The teaser also showed we had already put in a lot of work on this project, further illustrating our seriousness about it coming to fruition.

The short film version of F4YL has only been seen by a select few people involved in that production.  We’ve held off showing it to people because it would reveal too much story line of the feature, which shares the same basic structure, even if immensely more detailed and added to.  Truly, they are two different films with strong likenesses, if that makes sense.  But we want that to be seen later, not now!

The actual finished version of the short has been seen by even fewer eyes since the version showed to most people was a rough cut.  Director/editor Bryan Bachar was already in heavy with the feature version of F4YL when he completed tying things up with the short.  So, there you go.

Plan to definitely see the short version of F4YL in the future though, likely on the DVD under special features when everything is said and done!  Then viewers can compare and contrast to all their hearts’ desire.  Anyway, here’s the teaser!  Can you see the similarities between it’s style, color schemes and more and those of the current feature version teaser trailer?  Check the feature “Intro” teaser trailer HERE.

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!

The one studios crew is continuing to work hard on the ongoing production of F4YL.   But as we edge nearer and nearer to wrapping production we are able to put more info out about the film….to your benefit!  This teaser is meant to intrigue and entertain, leaving you wondering and wanting more….and keeping you coming back to the F4YL site for further media and info.  So, we hope it succeeds in doing so!

Expect more trailers in the near future, including the full length theatrical trailer.  We’ll also be releasing more character, cast and crew bios soon, as well as launching our Soundtrack Contest.  Lots on the horizon.  Lots coming at you quick!  Until then, keep up the good fight!

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:

 

Frank & KC Richmond

Terry Colorado

David of Center Ring Boxing

Eliot Kelly of El Dorado Hills Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Hollie of River City Saloon

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.
