Aris and the Art of Parkour Bhangra-Fu

Martial Arts, Parkour, and a side of Bhangra-Fu!

Aris tells the story a young man who stumbles upon an acrobatic thief in his apartment, only to be lured through a parkour-riddled chase through Astoria, Queens. He is then led to Maimou, Master of the Monkey style, where his challenge continues through a high-octane fight sequence unlike the city has ever seen. Unrelentingly, Aris battles the two foes that put his name, meaning 'God of War', to the test.

Physically told through a mix of Parkour (French style free-running), and Hong Kong-style choreography, combined with the sounds of Greek, Arabic, and Indian music, Aris and the Art of Parkour Bhangra-Fu is unlike anything you've ever seen...or heard.

A throwback to the hay-day of Hong Kong action cinema mixed with real gritty 21st Century independent filmmaking, the film was shot entirely on location in Astoria, Queens.

The musical score was produced by Richard Khuzami and Dahdoo Productions with musicians stemming from around the globe, featuring Dimitrios Hatzisavas, Rachid Halilal, Maurice Chedid, Rameses, and John Anastasopoulos.
