The 5th Anniversary of Black Belt Cinema’s annual Summer screening of MIAMI CONNECTION!
Motorcycle ninjas have taken over the Florida narcotics trade, but one multinational martial arts-themed rock band has had enough. With the power of friendship, honesty, and Taekwondo at their side, 5 university classmates (who are also orphans and live in the same house together) become Orlando’s #1 nightclub house band: DRAGON SOUND. Their musical mission? Protect their community from the iron grip of the MIAMI CONNECTION: a gang of drug dealing, motorcycle-riding, ninja thugs who also have a band.
Directed by Woo-Sang Park (L.A. STREETFIGHTERS) and written/produced by Florida-based martial arts teacher and guru Grandmaster Y.K.Kim, MIAMI CONNECTION was rarely seen upon its initial release in until DRAFTHOUSE FILMS restored it circa 2012. Now a major cult-phenomenon, Y.K. Kim’s personal passion project continues to wow audiences with its blend of crazy 80s action, thrilling fight sequences (ft. Kim’s actual students), and live musical performances from the one and only DRAGON SOUND! (BRANDON LIM)
Screening will be preceded with a live performance by DRAGON SOUNDS ft. special guests!
