Dilan Jay’s Hollow Point Film Accepted Into 2 More Festivals After Winning 3 Awards

The home-grown independent action film Hollow Point (2019), produced by Dilan Jay and directed by Daniel Zirilli, was accepted into two more film festivals in July, directly after winning 3 awards at its first film festival in June.

Hollow Point is Dilan Jay’s first film production from his self-started media company, Halcyon Media Group, based in Encino, CA. He accepted 3 awards on stage just last month for his film at the NOIDENTITY International Action Film Festival Spain (NIAFFS) on behalf of his team. Awards included Best Director (Daniel Zirilli), Best Score (Martell Nicholas Rivera), and Best Male Stuntman (Ayhan Tongadur), making Hollow Point the film that took home the most awards.

“Shooting Hollow Point in a record 13-day time span comes down to a team that can work together extremely efficiently, so it’s thrilling to see them win awards,” commented Dilan. “As a first-time filmmaker, nothing makes me happier than to see others’ hard work pay off with this recognition.”

Dilan’s background as a professional musician, songwriter, and producer assisted in the score’s powerful sounds. Dilan and Martell Nicholas Rivera spent 90 days in post-production mixing music that would imbue key scenes in the film with the emotion of the story, which centers around a professor’s moral dilemma to seek redemption after a heart-wrenching personal tragedy.

Hollow Point stars Luke Goss (Blade II, Hellboy: The Golden Army), Juju Chan (Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny), Jay Mohr (Jerry Maguire, Street Kings), Michael Pare (The Infiltrator, The Lincoln Lawyer), Bill Duke (Mandy, Predator), and Dilan Jay as principal lead actor Professor Nolan Cooray — making Dilan the first Sri Lankan lead actor in an American action film.

“My purpose for creating Hollow Point was about showing others that opportunity can exist for them, no matter who they are, what they look like, or where they come from,” stated Dilan.
