Our upcoming new release in July is CHEN VILLAGE, a story that revolves around life in Chen Village, China and Chen Family Tai Chi. There are 3000 residents in Chen Village (Chenjiagou) and 2500 practice Tai Chi Chuan on a daily basis. Almost ninety percent of the residents bear the Chen surname. In this feature length film we explore the growing number of Tai Chi Chuan followers from abroad that descend upon the village and how the Chen style and the generations of the Chen family have survived China’s turbulent history to make Chen style popular all over the world. A fact mainly attributed to 19th generation grand master Chen Xiaowang. It is a fascinating look into rural village life and Chen Village’s claim to fame as the birthplace of Tai Chi Chuan.
