A weekly round-up featuring selections of some of the best stunt reels, demos and shortfilms from around the internet
It’s usually the case that when the right people come together to create something cool, cool things happen. David Lavallee Jr. and stunt players Tricia Guarin and Justin Carney have combined their efforts from a concept by both performers now host to new action comedy bit, Dishing It Out which is now online for your viewing pleasure. Of course, do your chores first, THEN relax and watch!
This isn’t necessarily a return to the good old days of The Hit List, as much as I miss doing it since shelving it in 2020. A lot of folks are making good use of their own social mediums to proliferate themselves on top of YouTube whose parameters also tend to restrict me from adding some content to playlists. At any rate, I was in a mood to make an albeit brief detour into the world of professionals – the training and emerging stunt and screenfighting talents behind the scenes working on a lot of what you and I enjoy in film and television, especially if you read this site.
Actor Lewis Tan’s latest undertaking now comes in shortform with upcoming shortfilm project, Bad Fish. The actor recently wrapped principal photography on his latest project and posted several behind-the-scenes photos from the set taken by Ben Tan and Kat Holt.
It’s been a long time coming for those of you who waited to see if the Hit List would return. Welp, if only for a different pace than usual, I can most certainly say that it is. And to start, as always, is a hefty playlist of stunt reels by some of today’s best and brightest of their field, beginning with Alyma Dorsey who just recently earned a new notch on her belt for her first stunt coordinator credit on a new shortfilm project coming soon.
