Black Salt (www.blacksaltfilm.com) is an international film project that will be shot in China and the U.S. Black Salt is an epic story about an ancient and powerful style of martial arts that has been practiced in the Shaolin Temple for hundreds of years. With the murder of his wife and daughter, Samuel Tharp has to walk through a forbidden door to save his sons and perhaps the world. The only weapon that he had was his imperishable love that a parent has for one's kids and the honor, courage and discipline that he has instilled in each of them. Samuel's suspenseful and inspirational journey will take him through a small mountainous and wooded Chinese province, then back half way across the world to America. This action packed film has a strong universal message, "A man should be judged in life by the pureness of his heart and his deeds and not by his origin or what Klan he was born into." Black Salt is a cross between Crouching Tiger; Hidden Dragon meets Blade with a sprinkle of The Last Samurai.
