Quest for Jackie Chan! is Australia’s first transmedia explosion that follows the trials and tribulations of young filmmaker Maria Tran, who after finishing grassroot Kung Fu movie Maximum Choppage: Round 2 and ABC/ TV micro-series Downtown Rumble, her next project is in one of global collaboration and a response to the explosion of young filmmakers and their DIY guerrilla attitude of You Tube and Facebook generation.

After launching in Sydney featuring special guest, Hong Kong Action director Antony Szeto, she will be making her way around Australia, with Brisbane as her first destination.
In partnership with Brisbane Multicultural Arts Centre (BEMAC), she will run a workshop session on the new revolution of D.I.Y guerrilla filmmaking, how to engage global audiences, reveal marketing strategies, the art of pitching and ways to get your project off the ground.
And for those who are Jackie Chan fans and action film fanatics, this is your once in a lifetime chance to send your personal video messages to him!
