"ECHO 8" is ready to break new records while offering a fresh story to action fans around the globe.

The movie's own website brags about one achievement first and foremost: It is "Austrailia's first female-led independent action movie."

The filmmaker, a woman from Fairfield Australia named Maria Tran, was inspired to make the film by Jackie Chan - whom she worked with on 2017's Bleeding Steel.

Tran has said that she is very excited to bring Asian Austrailian stories to the forefront: She wanted to make this film because, she felt, so often, stories are taken from her culture and misrepresented by those outside of it - even when they mean well.

Before its official premiere, here's everything you need to know about the upcoming Asian Australian action film.
