ASC Troopers Touch Entertainment |
ASC Troopers Touch Entertainment was born out of the lack of diversity of heroic content in main stream media. Long time friends and Dojo class mates Demetrius Angelo and Lamard J. Wingster combined their love, passion and resources for heroic content to create opportunities for multicultural artists and content creators interested in the blockbuster Action genre. ASC Troopers Touch Entertainment is a collaboration of ASC Productions and Troopers Touch Films. We bring over 40 years of experience to Writing, Producing, Acting, Directing, Editing, Choreographing, and Distributing Action based content.

Action Scene Combat Productions |
Action Scene Combat (ASC) Productions was created by Demetrius Angelo in early 2000 in order to facilitate his vision of Diversity for Action based content. Demetrius learned very quickly that he did not fit the main stream mold for Action stars thus inspiring him to become the very solution that he was seeking. Demetrius's zeal to see more of a multicultural balance in lead roles in films, especially Action Films, spawned the establishment of the NYC Action Actors Academy Screen Fighting and Tactical Weapons program. The Action Scene Combat program was developed to efficiently train actors to perform choreographed fight scenes preparing actors to have a competitive edge in today’s action oriented film and television industry. Blockbuster films like The Matrix, Bulletproof Monk, Resident Evil, GI Joe, Hero, as well as TV shows like Battle Star Galactica, Nikita, Angel, Alias and the like have all established the birth of a new genre of actors, the Action Actor. The Action Actor is capable of doing limited stunt work and fight choreography, maximizing individual on-screen time and production efficiency.
Demetrius continues the battle for multicultural balance in the Action Film genre with the 2013 inception of the Urban Action Showcase and Expo featuring the Cinemax Action Short Film Competiton. These festival platforms are created to Recognize, Promote, Facilitate and Encourage the participation of ethnic filmmakers in the Action Film genre through the protocols of Information, Education, Facilitation and Exposure. |
Troopers Touch Films |
Troopers Touch Films was created by Lamard J Wingster a gifted filmmaker and 45 year veteran of the Martial Arts. Inspired by the 1989 Tim Burton version of Batman, the Acting and Filmmaking bug took root. He knew then that his dreams of creating a Black Super Hero were one step closer as he began learning Acting and Filmmaking through auditioning and self study. Today Lamard is a force to reckon with both infront of and behind the camera. His Cinematography, VFX and 3D Annimation skills are becoming some of the most sought out skills on the Indie Action market to date.
