Oh boy! The @urbanactionshowcase8723 was a blast and we are still recovering from the weekend. But in the meantime, we want to share a quick catch up video from @kungfudrivein !
If you are a martial arts film lover and NOT already listening to this podcast, can you really call yourself a martial arts film fan?? Please show him some love and watch the other interviews with extremely talented filmmakers, actors, and martial artists.

Had an absolute blast shooting and choreographing this last minute sketch for @RealMichaelJaiWhite and Gillian - part of a Mr. and Mrs. White series.
We shot this and 2 other videos over the span of two and a half days! We actually have some fun behind the scenes content on our Patreon.com/artschooldropouts if you wanna check it out! Enjoy!
Also, does that mean we have now finally worked with @SCOTTADKINSOFFICIAL 😅

So guess who called us out of the blue a few weeks ago? Michael Jai White. Yup! We’ve been sending him ideas and previzs over the last 2 years and suddenly—BOOM—he hits us up like “Let’s do it.” 💥
Mike’s a man of his word, and now... it’s happening. AGAIN!
If you want to be a part of the experience, consider being a patron. For just a few bucks, you’re not only supporting our indie action madness, but you also get front-row seats to something we’ve been building for years.

What started as a few previz videos turned into 12+ hour shoot days on a full-scale set. We were brought on with no guarantees, no roadmap, just trust and hustle. And somehow, through all the pressure and chaos, we held it down.
But the truth is… we didn’t do this alone. To our incredible Patreon patrons, Fractured Atlas donors and all of our supporters— you’ve been with us from the start. While the rest of the world is just seeing the trailer, you saw the raw, unfiltered journey. You saw the messy behind-the-scenes, the late nights, the doubts, the wins of the past 10 years. You watched us grow into the kind of team that could actually pull this off.
You didn’t just support us financially — you believed in us when we barely believed in ourselves.
You were there with us. And we never forgot that. So this moment? This breakthrough? This movie? It’s not just ours. It’s yours too. Thank you for being in our corner. This win is yours too.
You want trouble? You got it. Trouble Man — a feature film directed by and starring Michael Jai White, produced by Samuel Goldwyn Films Watch the trailer for TROUBLE MAN — in theaters and on digital August 1.
