In NO GIRLS IN THE DOJO — a short film written and directed by Alps Lifee — our young protagonist seeks to avenge her mother’s murder, and trains in the martial arts until she’s ready to combat the monsters responsible for the killing.▫️
With the leads played by the multi-talented actress, HANNAH KNIGHT, and the incredibly versatile ERMAR ALEXANDER, this project pays homage to the martial-arts movies of the 70s and 80s — but, this time, the story is told from a woman’s perspective.
▫️
We are honored to announce that the film has been selected to screen at Fighting Spirit Film Festival, which is being held on September 11-12, 2022, at Stratford East Picturehouse (London). Established in 2016, this organization celebrates and screens martial arts and action movies. For additional information, please visit: https://www.fightingspiritfilmfestival.com/ or @fightingspiritfilmfestival (link in bio).
