Cereal Killers

VentilationX collaborated with Martial Arts athletes, Jesse Lehman, Eric Day, and Christian Crosby to create a short film entitled: Cereal Killers. The film was a comedic tribute to traditional Kung Fu movies which combined Kung Fu, Tae Kwon Do, and Mixed Martial Arts fighting styles. The project began as an assignment for Temple Universities' Film and Media Arts program but quickly transformed into a multi-discipline production that brought VentilationX and members of the martial arts community together. The film was shot on a 16mm non-sync camera with foley sounds that were recorded separately and added later. The cast and crew was granted access to the MCP Hospital campus for the production which was shot over the course of a single day. The choreography was created by the athletes featured in the film prior to the shoot date and was slightly modified upon arrival to the set. VentilationX signed on to the project due to its interest in the Martial Arts community and its plans to expand into the field. The film was well received by its audience and was a great introduction into Martial Arts.
