UBUNTU UPPERCUT short film (The African john wick) inspired by killbill

We did this Short Film to test out our new ARRI camera and lenses.. THE AFRICAN JOHN WICK

[Syryu]

Let's see:

-No shaky cam
-Clear and creative choreography that displays character
-Scenes that keep emotional engagement and tension without ruining it with a joke
-Great effects such as that slicing the fly effect
-Provides a good twist on what seems to be a straight forward story

This is amazing work! Loukman Ali, you are already LIGHTYEARS ahead of most Hollywood productions here in America. Keep going and keep creating!

I'm Nigerian & I honestly don't know how I came about this movie but it was simply amazing. Big Ups Guys, keep up the amazing work!

Congratulations, mad skillz from all of y'all involved. Super impressive choreography and visuals.

Good choreography, nice amount of action. Establishes he's a bad ass from the time this short film starts, then the antagonist bests him in seconds with one hand. That was actually my favorite part. Establishes that he's a real threat. I would definitely watch this movie over any movie that Hollyweird produces. I'm black from the U.S. and I've been watching martial arts movies for over 45 years. This is a must watch.

My only criticism as a moviegoer is the excessive use of lens flares. But, it's not a big deal, just a personal thing. Wouldn't stop me from watching this at all. Great job. 😁

Too all Ugandan Film 📽️ makers who are proud of Loukman let's gather here 🎉❤❤❤ Am so proud of you man

[felixstephen]

Choreography and cinematography looks so professional ❤. Am proud of Africa for reaching such heights in entertainment 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[MfezekoMatshoba]

This is brilliant work. Top quality production. Here's what I would love to see:
More experimentation with our own cultures, outfits, music, etc. (if possible even the martial arts). We need to find our own authentic African look and make it look appealing to the world.

I'm not taking anything away from this. This is amazing quality and I love the little plot twist in the end. ❤ Keep up the good work guys😊

Loukman Ali, the guy behind the Nigerian blockbuster film Brotherhood. You are Gifted sir, keep making Africa proud.

[DeliriousPablo]

Excellent performance by the entire Production team. This is the kind of African content I want to see aired on our platforms and cinemas. Am so proud of your work 👋👋

[mohammedd.konneh]

This is beautiful. Am proud of you guys. African Movie Industries are gradually improving their activities.

[TheYarbros]

Poetic, technical and storytelling. The cinematography was on par with the story. Great work!

[BenCaesar]

Amazing !!! So good to see an African production

[Nkelebe]

This is absolutely brilliant. Please consider developing this into a full movie. The fight scenes, sequence, sound and production are completely perfect. Job well done

[keysfortheking]

You guys have no idea how much some of us pray for Ugandan movie industry to grow.
I’m starting to proudly see the growth of quality ..
Thank you so much, whatever is needed, make it known, we have active prayer closets to make sure you get all you need.
Can’t wait to see the next ones representing African culture and norms in the contemporary setting

[igordasunddas]

That's awesome. No shaky camera, no weird propaganda, just choreography and a bit of storytelling. I'd watch the full movie.

[L.I.RVA]

BRAVO!!!! This was great! My goodness...this was the real deal. Better Than

[AJDraws]

I see A LOT of potential here. Some improvements needed here and there with regards to cinematography and scene consistency, and some fights were avoided, which I only find annoying because the combat was great and I wanted more of it.
But damn, if this wasn't a great piece of entertainment! Loved watching it in its entirety and it is very obvious that this team will go on to do great things. If they can do this high quality work on a smaller scale, just imagine what they could do with proper funding!
Top notch work and I am excitedly subscribing to see what the future holds for you.

Africa needs more great stunt teams that can play on an international level.

[mel-bpkp]

Damn the filming and acting without using words made this even more impressive Great Work Guys
