Tanya Davies MP, Member for Badgerys Creek, spoke in Parliament to congratulate St Clair local and internationally renowned actor, director and film producer, Mr Bren Foster, on the release of his new blockbuster film, ‘Life After Fighting’.
The film tells the story of a martial arts instructor who is confronted with the disappearance of two of his students, leading him into a direct confrontation with a group of international child traffickers. It has been shown in cinemas in the USA and Australia and on rental and purchase digital platforms in Canada and the UK.
Mrs Davies commended Mr Foster for raising awareness of the issue of child trafficking through the film.
Mrs Davies and Mr Foster discussed the great benefit of the film to the local community of Western Sydney as they toured the carpark of the Erskine Park Shopping Centre, a location in which numerous scenes were filmed. She was pleased to learn that the film was shot with an all-Australian cast entirely in Western Sydney, with locals taking part in the film as extras.
“I’m so proud that our community is home to such a successful actor, producer and director, with this latest film in Mr Foster’s long list of achievements showcasing Western Sydney to the world,” Mrs Davies stated.”
Mr Foster stated, “Our film has attracted global attention and is a testament to what the people of western Sydney can achieve when we come together and lift each other up.”
“I thank Mr Foster for his contribution to Western Sydney and for taking the community on this challenging and remarkable journey with him,” concluded Mrs Davies.
The film will be available on demand in Australia from 21 August 2024.
