Canadian Filmmaker Bruce Fontaine got his start in film by moving to Hong Kong in 1988 (considered by many the Golden Age of Hong Kong film) where he worked as an Actor & Stunt Performer working with many of Hong Kong's action icons including Jackie Chan ('Operation Condor'), Stephen Chow ('Curry & Pepper'), Sammo Hung ('She Shoots Straight') & many more. Fontaine, a martial arts expert, made a name for himself with his remarkable flexibility and kicking ability, and became one of the most prolific actor/fighters during the "gwailo" bad guy boom of Hong Kong cinema.
Returning to Vancouver, Canada in 1996 Bruce worked as an Actor, Stunt Performer, Fight Choreographer & Stunt Coordinator and also worked extensively in the field of Motion Capture for Electronic Arts. He would also go on to 2nd Unit Direct, Produce & Direct. Bruce made his Directorial debut in 2015 with his independent Action feature film 'Beyond Redemption'. Shot for a budget of $45,000, it was released in the US in 2017 through Well Go USA (& sold over 30 countries), received a worldwide BluRay release & was seen on Netflix. Beyond Redemption was done as a homage to the Hong Kong films Bruce worked in the 80s/90s.
Bruce is developing several other independent action films targeting Western & Asian markets.
