Quick Snaps: Chilean Martial Arts at Fantastic Fest 2007

Ernesto and Marko

Ernesto Diaz-Espinoza, director/writer, and Marko Zaror, martial artist/actor, visited Austin in 2007 for Fantastic Fest where they premiered Mirageman, along with screenings of their earlier project, the first Chilean martial-arts film Kiltro.

Espinoza and Zaror will be returning for Fantastic Fest 2009 for the world premiere of their latest film Mandrill. With the tagline "Cooler than Shaft, Hotter than Bond, Faster than Lee" about a young hitman exacting revenge on his mother's killer, expect more fast-paced action from Zaror. Producer Derek Rundell and actress Celine Raymond will also be in attendance.
