THE HIT LIST – June 22, 2015

This week’s Hit List has some substance to it, if I may say so myself. One shortfilm finally came out in particular and it’s one I’ve covered quite a bit lately and I’m proud to have done as much as I have on it, and you’ll see more coverage on Tuesday. Until then, it’s Monday night, and it’s time to show off some stunt reels to cleanse the palette with videos by Bryan Sloyer, Michaela Chernoch, Cliff Ryder, Tonya Kay, Alexander Ullrich, Tim Storms, Lou Simon, Cassie Lee Minick, Sara Holden, Brett Easton and Narayana Cabral. Skipping brifely over to teaser territory, actor and stuntman Michael Lehr growing craft over at Fight Factory Stunt Team has amassed some impressive work in recent months; VerseS is one of those projects – a grisly implementation of violent prose with Lehr fighting his way out of captivity. It’s part of a whole series and the second […]

Lee B. Golden III

From L to R: Producer Harry Woodman, lead actor Julian Miller, stuntmen Martin Wan, Lawrence Nicklin and Jim Key, director Andrew Kueh and director of photography Robert Frost. Directed and co-written by Andrew Kueh, the story takes off in the dark of night with actor Julian Miller in the role of Sam LeBrant, a lost conscience forced to use his ability to jump between bodies to find and infiltrate Cognitech, the notorious scientific research facility secretly holding his live body prisoner for experimentation. Caught in the middle of it all is wife and company employee, Jane LeBrant (Zara Plessard) unknowing of what happened to her husband in the time since his mysterious disappearance, and an inquisitive journalist (Katharine Mangold) whose own suspicions bring her closer than she’s ever been. Using any and all resources available, Sam intends to rescue his body and bring Cognitech down, while trying to avoid being […]

Still, hell bent on maintaining new content as with every week, I’ve returned once more with the Hit List with all the usual bits of action gems you can enjoy.

UK College Students + SG Action Team Up To Make PRIME CONTACT!

Lee B. Golden III

The folks over at Leeds-based UK martial arts film and performance stunt and acting troupe, SG Action, have shared a new bulletin with their followers on Tuesday pertaining to what lies ahead with the forthcoming production of a student film project in the form of Prime Contact. The short film comes from the latest efforts of producer Harry Woodman, writer Dominic Lehany and director Andrew Kueh – three of a small group of University of York student filmmakers who have been working very hard at crowdfunding through Kickstarter to develop a genre action film focused on one man’s unique ability to transfer his conscience to other people through skin contact, a skill he must use in the battle he must face to find his body, and the answers he needs before his conscience is lost forever. Based on the campaign video, you can pretty much understand how far these aspiring […]
