Primarily known as a screenwriter associated with science fiction films; directed The Blood of Heroes.

The review situates The Blood of Heroes within 1980s underground/genre cultures, mixing peplum-fantasy and minimalist cyberpunk influences. It summarizes the plot and the sport at the film's centre (the Game/juggers). The reviewer praises the film's action, worldbuilding and Joan Chen, while noting an incoherent finale due to lighting and editing. Overall the film is considered successful despite limitations.
