KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED. F3: FEROCIOUS FEMME FATALE WILL PROMOTE DIVERSITY ON THE SILVER SCREEN

  LOS ANGELES, CA - 04/19/2017 (PRESS RELEASE JET)

F3: Ferocious Femme Fatale” is an upcoming movie about a women exclusive martial arts tournament that promises to deliver high kicks, some laughs, and a diverse cast of badass women who perform their own fight scenes. No stunt doubles required. The story won “Best Martial Arts Script” at the 2016 “Urban Action Showcase International Action Film Festival” in New York City. Writer, actor, martial artist, Army veteran, California National Guardsmen, and CEO of Strife’s Way Productions, Ltd., Rashawn Strife, has joined Kickstarter to crowdfund $1 million dollars or more to produce his movie.

“I hope everyone will support my Kickstarter, especially those who have complained Hollywood lacks diversity in their movies” said Strife. “I like telling stories where the characters are relatable to the audience, which is why this action movie stars a multiracial cast of women who are black, white, Asian, Hispanic, and other ethnicities. Some characters will speak in other languages, some are old, young, straight, and gay. In their own way, these characters are amazing!”

Kickstarter uses an all-or-nothing crowdfunding approach to encourage backers to pledge. If this campaign does not reach its $1 million dollar goal by May 3^rd at 11:59pm PST, all monies pledge shall be returned to the backer. Rewards offered for pledging are, but not limited to: PDF of “F3” shooting script, “F3: Kelly Vs. Sarah” martial arts short film, “F3: Ferocious Femme Fatale” feature-length movie when it’s completed, “F3” t-shirts, movie posters, tickets to the Los Angeles premiere and after-party, and a chance to be featured in the movie. There’s a stretch goal of $1.5 million dollars. If raised, Strife will produce another “F3” short film and release it on YouTube as a thank you to the backers.

Once financing is secured, auditions will be held immediately in Los Angeles, CA to cast the leading and supporting characters. Rehearsals will begin in the summer. The shoot will begin in the fall. Strife will play as ‘Sage’, the blind grandmaster who owns the F3 tournament. Actress and “Queen of the Martial Arts”, Cynthia Rothrock, who was recently featured on the cover of “Black Belt Magazine”, will play a supporting role. Twin fashion designers, To-Tam and To-Nya Sachika will design dresses for the five leading characters, and play principal roles in the movie.
