Art Camacho

Started his martial arts training in Karate and Kung Fu under the legendary Eric Lee. Later he also trained in Jeet Kune Do and boxing. This went so well that he quit school at the age of 16, to focus on his training.

When fans ask me for advice, here's what I tell them: "Do it with passion, or don't bother doing it." I consider Ed Wood a prime example on that score, even though many have cited him as a textbook example of how NOT to make a film. My point is that *he made films.* Sure he did it badly, sure he did it wrong; nonetheless, despite everything, he *did it.* As opposed to Stanley Kubrick; from the 1970s on, if you wanted a Kubrick-type movie, you were lucky if you got it from Kubrick.
