KUNG FU ELLIOT - 10TH ANNIVERSARY

The bizarre story of Elliot "White Lightning" Scott, a martial artist with big ambitions: he's determined to become Canada's first kung fu action hero with his low-budget karate epic, BLOOD FIGHT.

This surreal documentary captures two years in the lives of a passionate amateur filmmaker, his supportive partner Linda Lum, and their cast and crew of outrageous dreamers striving to achieve success. As Linda tries to ground Elliot in reality and commit to their relationship, he retreats further and further into his world of make-believe. Elliot sees himself as a moralistic hero; however, as Linda probes into Elliot’s impressive martial arts history, his Asian lineage, and his tragic past, she begins to unravel all of Elliot's tall tales. With everyone’s hopes and dreams pinned on Elliot, this film asks, “can you believe in your dreams too much before you end up living in a fantasy world?”
