Independent film Echo 8 breaks the stereotype of the Australian immigrant story

Filmed across multiple locations in Western Sydney, Echo 8 tells the story of a highly trained assassin.

You may know Maria Tran from the hit TV series King of the Cross and Fat Pizza: Back in Business. But in the new Australian action thriller Echo 8,  the Vietnamese-Australian actor not only stars in the film but co-directed it too.

The film was recently screened at the Art Gallery of NSW as part of the Badlands series, which featured rebellious films spanning revisionist westerns, samurai films, wuxia (martial arts) cinema, Blaxploitation, and New Hollywood.
