An absolutely brilliant film, The Art of Self Defense starring Jesse Eisenberg was an instant classic especially for martial artists who have seen the darker side of martial arts. I was absolutely thrilled to have the writer and director of TAOSD on the BCTL podcast. Riley Stearns is a competitive purple belt training at 5 Star Martial Arts in Los Angeles, so listen to this episode to hear all about him and his process writing TAOSD. All episodes recorded live and unedited
