Julian Jung Lee and Barbara Gehring will kick, hit, and punch their way across the screen in the martial arts film, Dragon and the Hawk, at 1 pm at the Santa Monica AMC Theater on February 19, 2003 as part of the American Film Market's "Premiere Screenings" which are open to the public as well as film buyers from all over the world. An encore "AFM Premiere Screening" of Dragon and the Hawk is scheduled for 9 am on February 24 at the AMC theater. The director and some of the stars should be available at each screening.
Haunted by her sister's mysterious death, Police Lieutenant Dana "Hawk" Hawkins investigates a similar death of a young Asian girl. Meanwhile, Korean martial arts master, Dragon Pak, comes to America searching for his missing sister, Cindi, who came to the U.S. to pursue a career as a model. When he asks about his sister at Vic's bar, Dragon is attacked by Edgar Dante and his thugs. Hawk helps defeat them and learns of Dragon's missing sister. Is there a connection? When the clues to the dead and missing girls begin to lead to Dante's Inferno club, Dragon is suddenly arrested and threatened with deportation. What has Dante been doing to these girls? Is Cindi still alive? To answer these questions Hawk frees Dragon and together they infiltrate the Inferno and follow Cindi's trail through its dungeons to the laboratory of the sinister Therion.
The action film, directed by Mark Steven Grove (Mad Love, Lonely Road, Warrior River, 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain, The Hunted), stars Julian Jung Lee (Fatal Revenge, Iron Heart, My Samurai, Tiger Street, Dancing Bear) as Dragon Pak and Barbara Gehring (Heraldo, Class, A.C.E. Comedy) as Lieutenant Dana "Hawk" Hawkins and introduces Trygve Lode as the evil scientist, Therion.
Dragon and the Hawk was produced by Inferno Film Productions, LLC, in Denver, Colorado, and the movie has since has developed fans worldwide. Inferno is currently developing a sequel to Dragon and the Hawk entitled Dragon and the Hawk 2: Therion's Revenge with its sister company, Asgard Entertainment.
