The Urban Action Showcase is on a mission to change the stereotypical way that People of Color are portrayed in mainstream media by presenting and promoting Heroic images that reflect Multicultural images and interests. The UASE was created out of concern for the lack of positive Heroic role models of color in the Action film genre. We are trying to play a part in the shifting of the common and unflattering portrayal of minorities in entertainment. We do this in several ways from encouraging the craft through our UAS International Action Film Festival platform competitions which boasts the Cinemax Action Short Film Competition, by exposing previous works that represent positively and teaching all necessary skills of the trade through our Action Expo and Awards platforms.

In order to grow and make a significant impact in the industry we need your support! A collective front is the message that we need to be able to send to the Powers that Be. By showing your support trough your Event Pass purchases, Exhibitor Booth registration or Donations will allow us to offer a better experience to both Fans and Professionals.
Check out why we believe we are worth your support!

Celebrating 45 Years of Black Action Heroes screening Three The Hard Way with special guest Fred "The Hammer" Williamson! Former Oakland Raiders/Kansas City Chiefs football star who rose to prominence as one of the first African-American male action stars of the "blaxploitation" genre of the early 1970s, who has since gone on to a long and illustrious career as an actor, director, writer, and producer! 6' 3" Williamson first came to attention in the TV series Julia (1968) playing love interest, Steve Bruce. However, his rugged, athletic physique made him a natural for energetic roles and he quickly established himself as a street wise, tough guy in films including That Man Bolt (1973), Black Caesar (1973), and famed Director Gordon Parks' Three The Hardway (1974). Talented Williamson established his own production company "Po 'Boy Productions" in 1974, which has produced over 40 movies to date. Like many young American stars of the 1960s and '70s, Williamson was noticed by Italian producers who cast him in a slew of B-grade action movies that occupied a lot of his work in the 1980s.

HBO ERG celebrates diversity with the UAS Cinemax Action Short Film Competition premier launch party. Competition winner Black Salt will be screened followed by a Diversity in Action Panel discussion. This is a VIP Invitation Only event! Stay tuned for VIP Ticket giveaways!
