Lee Sasheen, Colin Stewart and Kathy Krantz-Stewart Start Pre-production of New Martial Arts Film

Kathy Krantz-Stewart, Executive Producer, has announced that a new martial arts film, “Careers – A Martial Arts Love Story”, has started pre-production in Hollywood, California, and will be released in 2014.  Developed from an original story by Lee Sasheen, “Careers – A Martial Arts Love Story” is co-written by both Colin Stewart and Lee Sasheen.  Described as a “sweet, yet hot, romantic struggle between the careers of a woman whose modeling career suddenly booms and the stalled career of her martial arts master boyfriend, the film uses music from the 1970’s and contains some of the best martial arts action ever seen on film.  “Careers” chronicles the relentless pressure from the Italian mob who is trying to take a cut of the modeling money.  It is also an explosive action-packed romantic story about an eternal love that can never be torn apart.  The film will end with a spectacular fight.  The Mobster called THE INTERPRETER hires a great fighter, played by Sasheen's cousin Jose R. Flores, to battle against Sasheen's character.
