Director Statement

Ripped was filmed in a span of 3 days in a local neighborhood gym in Malaysia. Shot with a small cast and crew (and plenty of multi-tasking) we wanted to create a thriller/mystery film that paid homage to the classic films from our youth. It was important that we delivered a sense of suspense and mystery while maintaining a sense of humor.
