Triggered fan film

EXCLUSIVE: Urban Renaissance Entertainment unveiled Triggered 3.0: The Final Cut at a private premiere event April 19 at the Illusion Magic Lounge in Santa Monica, where veteran actor Eric Roberts was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award ahead of the screening.

The honor was presented by co-star Fernando Marrero, recognizing Roberts’ prolific career spanning decades across film and television. Roberts attended alongside Eliza Roberts, with the tribute serving as a highlight of the evening.

“Triggered 3.0, The Final Cut is so much fun to watch — I know you’re going to enjoy it. It’s going to be spooky, it’s going to be fun,” Roberts said at the event.

The superhero action thriller stars Roberts and Marrero and is produced, written by and co-stars Marcus Nel-Jamal Hamm, who underscored the film’s real-world inspiration.

“Triggered revolves around the real life story of Steven James Tingus. Steven had a rare form of muscular dystrophy and wanted to cure himself. In this film, we allow our dreams and our imagination to make that dream a reality,” Hamm said.

The ensemble cast includes Joshua Longfellow Wright, Robert Dobson, Siri Hull, Masashi Ishizuka, Katrina Chiovon, Johnse Allende Jr., Sady Diallo, Martin Torolira and Derek Ocampo. Also in attendance were voiceover artist Shawn Woodward and composer/sound designer John Capo.

The invite-only event drew approximately 60 attendees, including cast, crew, and invited guests. Following the screening, the filmmakers and cast participated in a Q&A session discussing the film’s creative direction and production journey. The evening concluded with a reception where cast members were presented with commemorative Triggered 3.0 apparel.

The event was hosted by Brittany S. Mason of Lavalliere Haus.

Triggered 3.0: The Final Cut is expected to head to the festival circuit this summer as Urban Renaissance Entertainment continues to expand its presence in the independent action space.
