John Woo has a Stranglehold on amateur filmmakers


Fans of slow-motion, doves, and people diving through the air whilst firing two guns will be excited to know that Midway is offering you a chance to make your own John Woo-esque Stranglehold short film, in exchange for a shot at fortune and glory.

The contest opens up on April 30th and runs until June 25th, and the winning film will be hand-chosen by John Woo himself. The winner will get $25,000, have their film shown on Spike TV, a John Woo signed Hard Boiled movie poster, and have bragging rights in future geek trivia contests.

Check out the details here so you can start storyboarding your short. Bonus points if you happen to know Chow Yun Fat and can get him to star in your flick.
