Now available online is the live action short, “Legend of the Mantamaji,” which is based off the critically-acclaimed graphic novel series of the same name by TV director Eric Dean Seaton.
The short follows the story of Elijah Alexander, a brash assistant district attorney who suddenly discovers he is the last of an ancient race of warriors sworn to protect humans. Fast-paced, heart-stopping action combines with a layered, thoughtful story full of hair-raising plot twists as Elijah struggles with the truth of who he is and what he means to the world.
When a masked gang known as the New World Knights gather illegal weapons for an attack on New York City, it’s up to Alexander, seen as a mystical warrior known as a Mantamaji to stop them. His powers are untested and he’s outgunned, can he survive this first big challenge?
As an episodic director, Eric Dean Seaton has helmed over 32 different shows, 165 television episodes, 18 music videos, two pilots for Nickelodeon, “Bad Fairy,” and “Sketch,” as well as two pilots for Disney XD, “Mighty Med,” which was picked up for a second season and “Kickin’ It,” which just completed its four-season run.
