MARIO personally has had the honor of learning under two of the best Stage Combat Instructors in the industry and am proud to be able to say that I have learned so much from Philippe Deseck (Aquaman) and Drew Leary (Gotham). The journey for him was long and his path was started.
Filmz Director Kaiju! It's a long story that deserves a good conversation, and that is why we produce filmz we love to see. If we are able to create filmz that make the audience feel good, then you are entertained. We want to make a difference in the world through Film. We want to change the world through Film. This is our dream. This is our work. This is our play.
