Director/designer Jeremy Mansford channels his lifelong obsession with Street Fighter into an impressionist fan film powered by a VO from artist/musician Vo Williams paying tribute to Capcom’s flagship franchise.

Jeremy Mansford: “I’ve always wanted to do a Street Fighter piece. As a kid, I would stare at the magic that was World Warrior when it first started appearing in my life – its sound effects echoing through a space would become a staple to any legit arcade experience.

“The base structure of the piece was to highlight Ryu’s previous battles (both internal and external) and moving forward to the next part of his adventure. Inner battles were visualized by the multiple negative Ryus creeping in.

“The idea of ‘the fight within’ is visualized throughout the film with the constant transition technique of having scenes zoom within each other. Each action becomes a portal to the next.

“I’ve never been much of a successful fighting game player, but have always had admiration for the art, concepts, energy, and characters the games bring. The original SF6 tease was the final piece of the inspiration puzzle to get me moving. It also felt like the perfect time, it being the 35th anniversary.”
