He then met Mario Kassar, whose credits include Terminator Salvation, Total Recall and First Blood. Interested by Randy’s project, Kassar later become Foxtrot Six’s executive producer, while Andrew Juano (The Walking Dead) came on board to handle visual effects and Hiro Ishizaka (Rurouni Kenshin, Unforgiven) was tapped as the sound designer.
The film is spoken in English so as to reach an international market.
“[I use English in the film] so people from other countries can understand and see our quality,” Randy said. “It’s easier to introduce ourselves if we use English.” (wir/kes)
