I'd like to be in a few martial arts short movies or webisodes (need a team)

I've wanted to do this for awhile now. I don't want to make a huge feature length film, just some small ones that feature martial arts.

What I want to make

A series of short films or webisodes (2 to 20 minutes in length) that feature martial arts as the central component, but have a very deep, rich story behind them much like BMW Films: The Hire series.

The idea is to capture what would be an excellent fight scene in what would otherwise probably not be much of a martial arts movie (those usually almost always suck), but a very high quality story/film.

The series would not have to necessarily be an actual series of related episodes. They can be completely unrelated.

I want practical martial arts, not fancypants flying around on wires walking on rooftops bullshit. It can be a silly story or even odd content like ninjas or based on a video game, but the moves should be realistic.

What I want to do in the film

Choreograph, act, direct, fight, produce, edit.
I don't have a ton of experience with any of these (except web stuff which would be excellent for marketing and distribution), but I'm interested in all of them. Wouldn't necessarily want to be in charge of all of them for every production.

I've got a huge library (in my head) of cool stuff that could be done for a fight scene and I want to get it out.

What I need someone else's help with (I need a team)

Everything else. I don't know much about film or acting. I've been in a total of 2 movies, both pretty small time and in one I was just an extra. I'm mainly interested in finding some people who are interested in the idea and think it's cool and would like to be a part of it. Video people, video editors, actors/actresses, stunt people, directors, producers, etc. I don't know exactly what I need right now, but I think a small team could pull this idea off well.

My ideas

I have a few ideas. Contact me (see sidebar at the top or just reply to this post) if you're interested =) I currently live in Austin, Texas.
