My name is Robert Samuels (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0760512/?ref_=ext_shr. )

I am a Film Director with over 32 years in the film industry and the only African American member of the Hong Kong Stuntman's Association. My partner and co-producer, Robert Jefferson, and I have spent over twenty years creating exciting projects with a focus on multiculturalism.

During that time, we have produced many films in the U.S. and around the world, with numerous successful productions. Last year alone, we garnered over 30 film festival awards worldwide.

So, with that success, why GoFundMe? The most challenging aspect of making films is always funding, and it is even more so for an African American filmmaker. We have encountered many empty promises and virtually no support. Therefore, we have decided to let the fans and everyday people who enjoy quality, story-driven action films be a part of this next chapter in our filmmaking journey.

We recently created a martial arts series titled "SHADOW FIST" to pay homage to the golden era of action cinema. The series won 30 awards and was a fan favorite! We have 2 episodes completed and are now looking to film the final episode this summer in Ensenada, Mexico.

We want to thank you in advance from the bottom of our hearts to anyone considering helping us—only through your generosity will independent filmmaking thrive.
