Underground filmmaker Justin Fornal (based in The Bronx, New York) is perhaps best known for his work as alter ego Baron Ambrosia, an eccentric food critic and "culinary ambassador to the world" (in his own words), who starred in a self-produced web series in 2007 titled Underbelly NYC, as well as 2 TV series; the 2008-2013 public access show Bronx Flavor and the short-lived 2011-2012 Cooking Channel series The Culinary Adventures of Baron Ambrosia, though he is also known by many for his notoriously elusive 2008 underground film Canzo Empyrean.
The film, which borrows characters from the G.I. Joe universe, is set in a futuristic dystopia, where AIDS runs rampant and, as a result, sex has been outlawed. With an alleged run time of over 2 hours, the underground feature is particularly notorious for it's concluding scene, a choreographed fight shot (illegally) atop the Brooklyn Bridge's Manhattan tower, ultimately landing Fornal in jail on top of being issued a $160 fine.[1]
