Nitro Rush at 19th Shanghai International Film Festival

Director Alain Desrochers Nitro Rush will get its world premiere at the 19th edition of the festival in the Jackie Chan Action Movie Week competition section.

Jackie Chan Action Movie Week is a grand showcase of stuntmen’s extraordinary performances and the innovation of special effects and technology in action filmmaking. It aims to cultivate new Chinese action film stars and to promote Chinese action movies worldwide.

Jackie Chan Action Movie Week established a professional election committee made up of members of action film associations, action film directors and media representatives to select the films in the competition section. The awards from the Jackie Chan Action Movie Week are called “man of steel,” which will be awarded through audience voting at the designated cinemas, and range from Best Stunt, to Best Fight to Best Actor.

The film was penned by Woolf + Lapin’s very own Martin Girard.

Best of luck to both Martin and Alain!
