SHANGHAI, ChinaAug. 29, 2015PRLog — Drago Lazetich, founder of STAY IN CHARACTER entertainment industry networking event, announced today the third installment of the popular gathering of people from across the creative professions. This one is martial arts-themed. Lazetich said the them reflects that Kungfu films are the most popular Chinese cinema worldwide. The event will feature a catwalk with fashion designers’ work and a martial arts kick. Guests are encouraged to show up in martial arts costume.

“We see Shanghai as an epicenter of the booming China film industry,” said Lazetich. “We have actors, directors, writers, cinematographers and other entertainment industry professionals of every kind from across China and from around the world all converging on Shanghai. STAY IN CHARACTER is a place for them all to come together, chill out and put faces to names.”

Co-founder Marianne Kaulima of Design Publicist MKREATES says the events have seen unprecedented success. The first two events both welcomed hundreds of professionals to come together at top night spots in Shanghai such as the boutique luxury of the URBN hotel BeerGRDN and this coming event will be at Shanghai’s new night spot Sweet & Sour on the fashionable West Nanjing Road.

“We have had amazing support for these events within the entertainment community,” said Kaulima. “We have also seen growing interest from sponsors in the business community because the creative industry and the cultural exchange of local Chinese and international talents is something they support.”

Richard Trombly is the Editor of China Indie Film http://china-indie-film.com/     and a co-organizer. He has been doing film-related events, short film contests, film festivals and screenings in Shanghai since 2006. He said a vibrant independent film scene is blossoming in Shanghai and the growth has been so strong that it was the right time to launch STAY IN CHARACTER in April of this year.

“China officially produced about 700 feature films last year and the box office surged 36 percent in 2014 to $4.76 billion,” said Trombly. “That figure does not take into account the content-hungry web platforms like Youku.com and the cable networks all with rapidly increasing demand for content independent content.”

American actor Zareh Martiross has attended both previous events and is eager for the upcoming event. He says members of the entertainment community have been really excited about these events. The last event happened during the Shanghai International Film Festival and featured a catwalk of the creative movie mask and costume designs of Mike Loh and Shanghai-based Uratz Studio. “Red Carpet” photography and video was shot by Hu John of Shanghai-based SeS Productions. Some SIFF attendees took the opportunity to join STAY IN CHARACTER to meet the local talents up close and personal.

“These gatherings not only bring friends and colleagues together to network and share their experiences while sipping a wine or beer and enjoying the show, said Martiross. “It also builds your character by providing incentive to improve your skills by working with these other great talents you mingle with.”

“Portrait” preserves fading tradition

Shanghai's 80+ year old WuZhou Barbershop.

Shanghai’s 80+ year old WuZhou Barbershop.

Here is an amazing short documentary “Portrait of a Barber” by director Jeffrey Chu. I have had the luck of working with this great film maker on several occasions. The music in this film is by another Shanghai talent Uj He. It is about one of the last old-style barbershops in Shanghai. In true documentary style, Chu is preserving something that is worth sharing. This 80+ year old shop will be torn down soon and Chu decided to preserve its image. The barber himself was pretty sparse with commentary, but some of the things he said are powerful about the history that the shop represents. The images are beautifully shot and portray the texture and feel of the history and tradition of this shop. The music of UJ HE brings a delightful surprise to truly make this video pay off as Chu pushes the boundaries of the documentary genre with an experimental twist. It is truly delightful. Watch it on VIMEO and please give it a “heart” (vimeo’s form of like) and a comment! Thanks Jeffrey Chu for preserving a piece of our history. https://vimeo.com/99383268
