Added: (Fri Nov 06 2009)

Pressbox (Press Release) - From the director of ‘Left For Dead and Ten Dead Men, in association with Molinare, Stealth Media Group and Spice Factory, producers of genre films such as Steal, New Blood, Jericho Mansions and Perfect Creature comes Warrioress’, an action-packed fantasy film in the tradition of Red Sonja and Excalibur.

The film is currently in post-production and was mostly shot in Surrey, UK and on the beautiful island of Guernsey, where the filmmakers had an unprecedented amount of support.

Cecily Fay is best known in the UK for headlining the chart-topping Trance music act The Morrighan, but is also a highly experienced screen actress, having featured in productions as varied as Richard Jobson’s The Purifiers, Tim Burton’s Charlie And The Chocolate Factory and Ross Boyask’s first two features as director Left For Dead and Ten Dead Men.

Both of Boyask’s films have charted at high positions in DVD sales charts in the USA and UK, as well as having sold to many territories internationally. Previous to this he was best known to action audiences as having directed the highly acclaimed short martial arts action film Pure Vengeance, starring Scott Adkins (Ninja, The Bourne Ultimatum and Undisputed II and III) and Gordon Alexander (The Purifiers, The Baseline and Sucker Punch).

Warrioress is the first independent film of its kind to be made in the UK. Ross’ aim for the film is to show audiences that contemporary action films can feature incredibly strong female characters as positive role models, who can really perform all of their own complex martial arts fights and horse chases as well as very dangerous stunts. Unlike most other films there are no stunt doubles or wires here. The women of Warrioress have worked incredibly hard, and endured some extremely hard smacks. But they just smile and keep on going.
