The Cinemax Sponsored Urban Action Showcase and Expo (UASE); Indie’s only All Action Showcase, Film Festival, Writing/Comic Book Competition and Urban Action Expo dedicated to celebrating and honoring the works of the Urban Poly-Ethnic Action Community (Asian, Black, Latino, Women and Other).
The quest of the Urban Action Showcase and Expo is to Recognize, Promote, Facilitate, and Encourage the participation of poly-ethnic minority Actors, Artists, Writers, Filmmakers and Industry Professionals in the Action Film Genre. The UASE endeavors to recognize minority Industry Professionals by honoring excellence in various aspects of Action Filmmaking, Writing, Directing, Artistry and Acting. We promote these professionals through various media outlets, facilitate distribution opportunities, and encourage new interest through the building of strong networking communities, panels, workshops, and key sponsorship participation. The UASE inevitably inspires minority interest in the art of Action Filmmaking and content creation through information, education, facilitation and exposure.
The Urban Action Showcase and Expo is a multi-day Independent Action Event. The UASE welcomes Film/Television, Animation and Live Action Shorts, Feature, TV Pilots, and Web series in all aspects of the Action genre including Adventure, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Supernatural. In addition to Screenings, Panels, and Workshops, we have an Urban Action Expo where Action Filmmakers, Comic Book Artists, Production and Entertainment companies as well as other Industry Vendors have the opportunity to showcase their content, goods, and services to a poly-ethnic target market.
