From $10K to a Global Action Trilogy: Maria Tran’s Echo 8 Saga Redefines Indie Cinema
Sydney, Australia, 14th April 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, What began as a humble $10,000 AUD grassroots project has transformed into a ground-breaking action trilogy that’s shaking up the global film scene. With production now wrapped on Five By Five and Echo 8 Beyond, director Maria Tran’s female-driven Echo 8 Trilogy is a bold reimagination of what micro-budget filmmaking can achieve—with just $30,000 USD across all three films.
Fuelled by crowdfunding, community spirit, and relentless grit, the Echo 8 Trilogy stands as a defiant answer to the question: What if the future of action cinema is indie, diverse, and powered by heart?
A Cinematic Movement Born from Grit, Not Millions
Filmed across 50 days at over 20 locations in Western Sydney with a cast and crew of 200+, the trilogy is a raw, high-stakes saga laced with martial arts authenticity, emotional depth, and real-world urgency.
-
Echo 8 (2023) – A sleeper indie success, self-released on Amazon Prime, Tubi, and Apple TV. Praised for its kinetic fight scenes and a powerful female lead, it set the tone for a trilogy built on soul, not spectacle.
-
Five By Five (2025) – A dark, compelling prequel exploring the rise of Agent 5 within the notorious Zodiac crime syndicate—set three decades before the events of Echo 8.
-
Echo 8 Beyond (2025) – A gripping sequel following ex-assassin Anna, now off-grid to protect her mother, as she’s forced to confront ghosts from her violent past.
Written by Elizabeth H. Vu and helmed by Maria Tran, the trilogy merges character-driven storytelling with dynamic, female-led action—crafted completely outside the traditional studio system.
A Blueprint for the Next Generation of Indie Action
Drawing inspiration from Robert Rodriguez’s DIY philosophy and Tran’s mentorship under B-movie icon Roger Corman, the Echo 8 Trilogy was built with ingenuity over resources—shooting in public parks, borrowed spaces, and with fans turned cast members.
“We’re not just making movies—we’re rewriting the rules on who gets to tell these stories,” says Tran. “No gatekeepers. Just passion, resilience, and community.”
The cast features George Basha (The Combination), Ashley Avci (Housos), Damien Sato, Mike Leeder, Takashi Hara, and breakout talent Xiang Ma, Anne Dao, and Wilson Zou.
Be Part of the Action: Crowdfunding Campaign Launching May 2025
As the trilogy heads into post-production, the team is launching a global crowdfunding campaign to complete editing, visual effects, and promotional rollout. Independent backers, producers, and fans are invited to help bring this vision across the finish line.
“This isn’t just a trilogy. It’s a proof-of-concept for what inclusive, independent cinema can look like worldwide,” Tran says. “And we’re just getting started.”
Worldwide Release: December 2025
Five By Five and Echo 8 Beyond will premiere globally in December 2025, with teasers and behind-the-scenes drops rolling out soon.

Dr. Sandeep N Setty Awarded Honorary Doctorate for Asset Structuring and Intergenerational Planning
Dr. Sandeep N Setty, a Bengaluru-based estate strategist and one of India’s most trusted advisors to business families, has been awarded an Honorary Doctorate (Honoris Causa) by the Global University for Humanity, Peace, and Education. The honour recognises his pioneering work in intergenerational wealth planning, cross-border asset structuring, and legacy preservation — areas gaining urgency amid India’s largest wealth transition in history.
A Leader in Structuring India’s Generational Wealth Story
Over the past two decades, Dr. Setty has helped over 350 Indian and global families safeguard more than ₹4,000 crores in personal and business assets — not only through legal and financial expertise, but also by preserving family values and avoiding future disputes.
His clients include first-generation wealth creators, family-owned businesses, political leaders, and next-generation inheritors seeking clarity in navigating succession, governance, and multi-jurisdictional estate issues.
“This honour is not about me—it’s about the families who chose to plan with purpose,” said Dr. Setty.
“In today’s India, wealth is being created faster than wisdom can be transferred. My work is to bridge that gap.”
From Complexity to Clarity: The Setty Approach
Dr. Setty is a:
- Certified Trust and Estate Planner
- 4-time author on wealth
- 40 Under 40 honoree recognised for impact in estate planning
- Contributor to Trade body Magazines
His advisory spans:
- Global estate and succession planning
- Family business continuity frameworks
- Private Placement Life Insurance (PPLI)
- Retirement and executive compensation strategies
- Mentoring heirs to manage inherited wealth responsibly
“Dr. Setty doesn’t just protect wealth—he protects families,” said Rajendra, a second-generation business owner and long-time client.
“He helped us move from silence to structure, and from uncertainty to unity.”
Beyond Finance: A Purpose-Driven Mission
Outside his advisory work, Dr. Setty supports initiatives in special education, healthcare for children with special needs, and career mentorship for youth from underserved communities.
“He represents a new class of advisors—technically world-class, emotionally grounded, and socially conscious,” said the Board of Advisors, Global University for Humanity, Peace, and Education.
“We honour Dr. Setty for turning finance into a force for family harmony and national impact.”
India at a Crossroads: Why This Honour Matters Now
India is set to witness the transfer of $3.5 trillion in wealth by 2040. The lack of structured estate planning has led to legal disputes, tax losses, and family fractures.
Dr. Setty’s frameworks provide an integrated solution—combining confidentiality, control, continuity, and cultural understanding.
“Most families don’t need more investments. They need more conversations, guided by structure and empathy,” he said.

Tearline’s ChatPilot Surpasses 2.5M Interactions — The Scalable AI Chatbot Driving Web3 Onboarding
With the global AI market projected to grow 11× to $2.74 trillion by 2032 (PwC), a new frontier is emerging. Tearline is among the first to turn this convergence into a live, productized reality.
British Virgin Islands, BVI, 18th June 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, ChatPilot—Tearline’s flagship AI chatbot—is proving that intelligent automation is no longer theoretical. Representing a new class of agentic tools, ChatPilot transforms user intent into real on-chain actions through natural language, eliminating traditional Web3 friction.
A Production-Ready AI Chatbot at Scale
While many AI-in-Web3 efforts remain in prototype stages, ChatPilot is live and operational across multiple ecosystems. Originally launched on TON via Telegram’s mini-app interface, the chatbot has rapidly expanded to support both BNB Chain and Sui networks.
To date, ChatPilot has processed over 2.5 million user interactions with daily active usage continuing to grow. As a conversational interface, ChatPilot allows users to perform essential Web3 functions—wallet activation, token swaps, staking, and NFT minting—without ever touching a dApp UI.
Built with execution in mind, the chatbot boasts a >95% task success rate, ensuring not just seamless communication but reliable, high-accuracy on-chain execution.
Powered by Advanced LLMs for a Low-Barrier Web3 Journey
ChatPilot is a specialized Web3 AI chatbot, expertly designed to lower the barriers to entry in the Web3 ecosystem by understanding traders’ intent and facilitating a wide range of crypto trading operations. Unlike generic AI chatbots focused solely on dialogue, ChatPilot is architected for execution within the Web3 vertical. Its sophisticated multi-LLM hybrid stack incorporates retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), multilingual support, and context-sensitive memory, allowing users to interact with the system using natural language.
This powerful framework enables ChatPilot to accurately interpret user intent and assist in complex blockchain operations such as token swaps, smart contract deployment, and interaction with DeFi protocols. By providing robust support within its defined scope, ChatPilot empowers users to navigate the intricacies of crypto trading with ease and confidence. While it does not automate actions beyond its operational frontier, it acts as a stable agent layer within the decentralized stack, offering a programmable interface that seamlessly integrates with logic.
Incentive-Driven Usage: AI That Rewards Participation
A key driver of ChatPilot’s rapid user growth is its built-in compute-based incentive model. Users are rewarded for performing meaningful actions—minting, bridging, swapping—with rewards calculated and distributed via Tearline’s incentive engine. This approach transforms user interaction into measurable economic activity.
Node operators and contributors can monetise compute resources and task logic while maintaining full on-chain transparency. The result is a robust, self-sustaining incentive loop that fosters both user retention and network growth, rare among AI tools in the decentralised space.
Beyond ChatPilot: A Growing Agent Ecosystem
Tearline’s roadmap extends well beyond ChatPilot. Its multi-agent architecture is already powering new products across both Web2 and Web3 surfaces:
-
GhostDriver:A browser automation agent that processed 400K+ requests that automates website tasks and execution, bridging the gap between centralised and decentralised interactions.
-
FlowAgent: A newly launched task orchestrator enabling multi-agent coordination and smart contract execution.
Each product is built atop the same intent-to-execution logic stack that powers ChatPilot, positioning Tearline as a leading force in the emerging agent economy.
As AI reshapes how users interact with blockchains, Tearline is not just deploying AI chatbots—it’s scaling intelligent automation as infrastructure. In a space crowded with demos, Tearline delivers usage. And usage is what scales blockspace, and long-term value.
About Tearline
Tearline is a full-chain AI agent platform that transforms user intentions into seamless on-chain execution. Through advanced multi-agent coordination, composable workflows, and an evolving incentive economy, Tearline enables the next generation of autonomous, intelligent, and reliable Web3 infrastructure. Its growing product suite includes:
-
ChatPilot – An intent-centric AI chatbot deployed on BNB Chain, Sui and TON, streamlining user onboarding and on-chain actions via natural language.
-
GhostDriver – An execution-focused agent that automates web-based tasks across both Web2 and Web3 environments.
-
FlowAgent – A programmable multi-agent platform designed for decentralized coordination, supporting complex cross-agent workflows.
