From his Official Twitter and Accounts

In a time of civil war, a young warrior is given the task of delivering a treaty between two rival lords. During her journey through the woods however, she finds herself hunted by two assassins intent on intercepting her message of peace in a bid to maintain the fear, instability and violent rule of their leader.

Production Details:

The following is a test action sequence designed by Yayan Ruhian, Cecep Arif Rahman and Gareth Evans. It was designed in a bid to create choreography that maintains the style and rhythm set out in their prior work (The Raid 1&2) while staying within the parameters of a PG-13/12A audience friendly certification.

Designed in under a week, it was shot over the course of 3 days on location in Hirwaun, WALES. The short sequence was shot using a Sony NEX-7 with only the Director and Cast on location. No other crew and cast worked on this project during the shoot.

Post production was handled in-house with Gareth Evans handling the offline edit while Fajar Yuskemal and Aria Prayogi continued their collaboration by providing an instrumental score tailor made to the project that would call upon cultural elements (the mix of Japanese and Indonesian instruments) inherent in the design of the film.

They have also undertaken the recording of ADR with the cast, foley and editing all sound FX before completing a final stereo mix.

Credits:

Performed by Hannah Al Rashid, Yayan Ruhian and Cecep Arif Rahman.
Sound Mix, ADR, Sound FX, Sound Editing and Music by Fajar Yuskemal and Aria Prayogi.
Shot, Edited and Directed by Gareth Evans.

Thanks for the tag, I wonder if this is leading somewhere or if it was just for fun?

I'm wondering the same... given a solid budget, he can definitely create something AWESOME! Definitely interested on what's next, I just want 'The Raid 3'

Thanks for the tag @bloodsnake007 I loved Yayan Ruhian in The Raid / The Raid 2. He was such a badass character.
This scene here is well choreographed but unfortunately it doesn´t match his actual performance. I'm looking forward to see more of it

Thanks for the tag @bloodsnake007! That was pretty cool! The choreography is spot on! Considering he shot it himself over 3 days he did a great job!

Well choregraphed, BUT I find the leading lady the weakest performer of the 3 by far. Her movements ain't accurate as the other 2.
