Filmed in the Western suburbs of Sydney, the action film has drawn global attention with the movie scheduled for release in selected cinemas on June 7 across the US, Canada and the UK, with an Australian release on June 13 and available on demand from August 21.
Life After Fighting follows a former world champion Alex Faulkner, played by Foster, who must confront a human trafficking ring after two of his students from his dojo go missing. What ensues is Foster, known as the Human Tornado, taking on an array of villains in a relentless one-man army quest to rescue the children.
“In Australia we do drama really well and action well separately, but in terms of drama and action together it’s almost non-existent for Australian production,” Foster said.
Master Bren Foster, a highly talented martial artist, has also excelled as a classically trained actor whose career has flourished in Australia. Foster received critical acclaim for his portrayal of “Jamal” in the Australian feature film Cedar Boys, earning praise from Empire Film magazine as a “born star” for his captivating portrayal of a criminal guiding his younger brother away from crime.
