As Studio Bokehgo approaches its 10 year celebration in 2025, I wanted to get the party started early with this teaser event launching a new strand to Bokehgo - ‘Community Bokehgo’.
Community Bokehgo is all about bringing brilliant creative minds together in the pursuit of making powerful and unique pieces of cinematic art. As a self taught filmmaker, community has been everything to me, and there are so many people and projects that have believed in me and led to the studio being as established as it is today.

This 80s cult classic extravaganza brings you a tale as old as time, rock band martial arts experts vs drug-dealing ninja bikers. When a drug deal in Miami is ambushed (by a group of ninja bikers…) a local college rock band, Dragon Sound, is somehow caught up in the middle of it. Luckily, the band is made up of five orphans who are also best friends, roommates and Taekwondo masters.
