“Be Water, My Friend: The Story of Bruce Lee” is the film on Bruce Lee’s life that’s the exciting biographical film his fans have been waiting for. Drawing from over 12 books written by or on Bruce Lee, 22 documentaries and Bruce Lee movies, as well as countless independent interviews and “lost footage,” this short film tribute not only fills the cinematic void for a movie that’s a faithful adaptation of Bruce Lee’s life story, but it entertains audiences along the way. Follow young Jun Fan, (Bruce’s Cantonese name), from his childhood days as a street fighter in Hong Kong beimos and outcast gung fu student in Ip Man’s Wing Chun school, to “The Little Dragon’s” boat-rocking arrival on the US martial arts scene. Discover the insurmountable obstacles Bruce Lee faced as a Hollywood actor that required him to apply everything he learned in martial arts to defeat a system that was rigged against him. And unearth the legendary power Bruce Lee was able to harness that made him the influential icon he is today when he finally learned how to become 100% of what he was determined to be: like water. Oh, and, naturally, this film was made in The Year of the Dragon. *Note: Western martial arts uniforms are sometimes used in place of traditional Wing Chun uniforms as a “creative device.” This is for educational (and, for some, entertainment) purposes only.

“1984: George Orwell’s Last Man” is a short film tribute to the book, “1984,” made by the award-winning filmmaker, T.M. Caufield. Written/adapted for the screen after consulting George Orwell’s original manuscript for “1984” – (as well as decades of his books, essays, articles, reviews, and influences) – Caufield transports viewers to the age of Big Brother, Thoughtcrime, and Doublethink. And in cinematically following “The Last Man in Europe,” as Orwell originally titled his revolutionary book, audiences slowly enter protagonist Winston Smith’s walking nightmare as he tells both “the future or the past” what life is like in 1984. *Note: This “1984” tribute contains some elements depicted in the book that may not be suitable for young children. Viewer discretion is advised. Tribute released on the 76th anniversary weekend for the UK publication of George Orwell’s book, “1984.” And for fun, see if you can spot the “Animal Farm” reference!
