THE HIT LIST: May 4, 2020
The last several days have been a bit of a drag but I’m looking toward easing myself back into posting norms, and as always, The Hit List is a good motivator!

DOGMA: Help Wuji Films Bring Their New Urban Crime Drama Series To Life
Look up at any certain point in the history of The Hit List and you’ll be certain to spot the names, Joshua Zacharias and Bronson Cameron. They’re back in the spotlight for their Winnepeg-based Wuji Films independent film banner where they are now stepping it up with a new Indiegogo campaign for dramatic crime series, Dogma.
THE HIT LIST: October 1, 2018
The good news is I’m getting back a little bit more into a steady viewing of anime. Finished season 3 of My Hero Academia and caught up with the latest in the Silver Soul arc of Gintama, plus I’ve just started picking back up on features I’ve been missing out on so expect some more reviews if possible.
THE HIT LIST: August 14, 2017
My weekend was pretty huge for movies. My thoughts on Wolf Warrior 2 are up on my Instagram as well as posts about S.S. Rajamouli’s Bahubali saga so feel free to skim those through and follow me as well as I also cross post news there.
The news also includes the latest on what’s what in the weekly Hit List and we begin with a new round of stunt and training reels from around the web. Anna Akimova gets things going this week with her latest reel followed by Jake Teel, D.L. MacDonald, Tyler Street, Jessica Stafford, Graham Hooper, Andy Whitmarsh, Samuel Horowitz, Monica Lopez, Noel Martinez, Casey Michaels, Bronson Cameron, Yessenia Cossio, Aaron D. Alexander, Antjuan Rhames, Donovan Law, Ai Ikeda, Justin Mane, Lukaz Leong and Cassie Lee Minnick, along with Benjamin J. Redic III and the crew at Ballistic Blade, multifaceted stuntmen and fight choreographers Fernando Jay Huerto and Geo Corvera, and Australia’s own Asaya Yasushi with a newly launched team reel for Team Yas!
As for promotional gems, there’s plenty to gush over and especially if you have an UltraFlix subscriber – Even moreso if you’ve been keeping up with Iron Dragon TV whose founder, actress and martial artist Janell Smith just hosted this year’s debut IDTV Action Fest in Texas, now ripe with a raft of featured shorts and selected ‘Bests’ ranging from Clayton Barber’s Eric Jacobus headliner, Blindsided, to Holy Bastards’s proof-of-concept, You Can’t Hear Me – You Can’t See Me, Samuel Smith’s Tengu: Birdmen Of The Mountains, and many, many more now available on Iron Dragon TV for subscribers.
Head over to the official IDTV website with links to the listed entries and subscription access!
Time to finish things on a fantastic, fight-filled high-note, and as a small matter of trivia, at least three of the people in the following projects have their stunt reels listed, so feel free to try and spot them! ?
Beyond that, we begin with the return of a nifty “tasting” this summer from Bronson Cameron and Joshua Zacharias, and a parkour-packed action skit from the UrbanAmadei channel with Amadei Weiland and Niklas Kinzel, and Victoria Simone and Al James getting in some fight time with Lawrence Yip behind the moves and the lensing.
Next up is an impromptu video from Lunar Stunts cutting loose with some training featuring Mickey Arce, and brothers Irvin and Eric Nguyen among the bunch, along with cosplay powerhouse, actor and martial artist Ben Bergmann killin’ some ninjas in a piece inspired by The Witcher 4, actress Josie Renault in a sexy cat and mouse game with Kamy Bruder in the sleek, brutal, musical action short, Jacked, Vlad Rimburg’s latest pre-viz entry with stunt players on Batman: The Telltale Series, and Lauren Mary Kim host to another filmic, kinetic, third entry into the Kali Diaries now with actress Amy Johnston.
Rounding it all out are the latest stylings from the rabble rousers at Art School Dropouts in Samurai Gunman with Joey Min and DL MacDonald, Wolf Warrior 2 badass Aaron Toney consuming the JAM gym facility in Reseda behind the camera for an ensemble action previz dubbed The Nightbreed, Adeola Alao throwing Wadi Jones, Ricky Barksdale and Andrew Mihalko in the mix for Supply Drop, Donald Brooks and Aaron D. Alexander doin’ it old-school in Leather Jacket Jive Turkeys, and Indian film fan and YouTube personality Anthony Alba in comedic short, Raging Bullish – this one was purely delightful and I couldn’t NOT share it.
Enjoy the hits!

THE HIT LIST: October 17, 2016
…Anyway, enough of that. It’s time to get to a trio of meaty, mighty playlists for this week’s installment of THE HIT LIST that I know you will have plenty to fill up with. And on that note, we can always count on actor, martial artist, stuntman and filmmaker Eric Jacobus to lead the way for videos specially attributed to the Tekken game franchise. With another already in tow, Armor King is now staking his claim via Eric’s YouTube channel first up in the playlist below, followed by a slew of stunt and demo reels by Luci Romberg, Jake Teel, Sakaeda Ayami, Justin Hall, Daisy Fryer, Fernando Campos, ToniMarie Chiavola, Angel Flores, Meredith Richardson, Roger Bartlett, Noelle Mulligan, Jonathan King, Cavin Mohrhardt and an awesome new fan reel inspired largely by filmmaker Steve Wang’s Guyver: Dark Hero, with actor and martial artist Anthony Houk’s central costume performance in the title role.
THE HIT LIST – January 12, 2015
The equipment involved here all comes from DJI, and best serves as an example of how advancements in camera-operating technology can better meet the needs of today’s generation of filmmakers. I would imagine this is also a cinematographer’s dream that these devices become more practical as tools that are helpful in the creative process, as well as affordable, time-saving and cost-effective, and if this isn’t the case just yet, hopefully it will be, as this latest online gem so demonstrates.
