It's rarely I do something like this, but when my buddy Andrew Leavold wants help I'm always there for him. For you who know stuff, Leavold is the worlds foremost expert in Philipino genre cinema. There's NO one who knows what he knows. It's amazing actually. He's also absurdly obsessed with Weng Weng, the midget action hero who starred in such classics as For Your Height Only and The Impossible Kid. Just check this out:
Now it's time for Andrew to finish what he's started. Here's the project description at Kickstarter:
"The Search For Weng Weng" is the unbelievable true story of the real-life Filipino midget James Bond and the latest Feature Documentary from Australian Guerrilla Film maker Andrew Leavold. Shot over 6 years in Manila, it's the ultimate history of Philipino B-Films and chronicles Leavold's obsessive quest to find the truth behind what really happened Weng Weng. We already have over 100 hours of footage and are looking to raise funds to complete post production for an international release."
Andrew was also associate producer on the hit documentary Machete Maidens Unleashed!, a project that started out as a Weng Weng documentary. But what we're waiting for is the real Weng Weng doc and this is a chance for you all to help out!
Visit the official Kickstarter project page, The Search For Weng Weng, and read about the project and pledge what you think you can afford. I will do that, at least when my next salary rolls in. You can also join the documentary on Facebook for the latest updates!
