THE HIT LIST: May 22, 2017

Some great and surprising news came out of Cannes over the weekend and I’ve been busy like hell covering as much as I could. Those pieces are still up and so feel free to check those out, otherwise, you’re more than welcome to enjoy yourself for this week’s installment of The Hit List which, to say the least, finishes stronger than I even imagined. We kick things off with a brand new playlist of stunt reels featuring some amazing work by Robert Bennett, David Russell Graham, Jazzy Ellis, Alex Del’Aquila, William Asbury, Maria Thomas, Brandon Alan Smith, Michael Carey, Gina Kessler, Benjamin Hinnant, Joseph Roark and Califf Guzman. As far as promotiomal items go, there are a couple of bits and the first is a promo video by stuntman and fight choreographer Rustic B who has been hosting his own miniseries of film fighting tutorials for up-and-comers. He’s stepping it up […]

If anyone needs me, I’ll be spending the week collecting my brain between articles and work so I can recover from my near-sleepless weekend. For the record though…no, I’m not complaining. Headshot was awesome! As for all else, this week’s HIT LIST is here for your enjoyment with another round of stunt and demo reels, promo goodies and action-packed shortfilms. Canadian stunt troupe K Dynamique kicks things off with a new reel of their own followed by Jared Blake DiCroce, Mark Miscione, Eurico Senna and the award-winning fiery stylings of Rachel Novak. The playlist rounds out with reels by Marcel Mala, Joseph Roark, Barry Nerling and Felix Cortes with Godefroy Ryckewaert showcasing some delicious lensing highlights of his own, including footage from Jimmy Henderson’s new movie, Jailbreak. Up next are the usual promotional goods and just in time for the release of the hit film, Logan, is an inspired new […]

Well, as much as I wanted my weekend to be an eventful one, I can’t say it was or I’d have more to discuss this week and share with you all. Hopefully the rest of the year will pan out much better, but it is still bustling in the world of stunts, action and independent content, and if you don’t believe me, well… …you needn’t look further than this week’s installment of The Hit List for some of the latest action-packed demo reels, trailers and short-form action jewels to keep you in good company! For this, the latest round of stunt and training reels starts off with the newest action reel from former UFC prospect Cung Le whose longstanding career in film continues onward going into the new year, and you can learn a little more about it here. In the meantime, Le has an action reel now available on […]

Well…I can’t exactly say the weekend has been an uneventful one, but I certainly hope that this week’s installation of the Hit List will allow some inspiration and joy for those who read this blog regularly. First up, as always, is a cool new playlist full of amazing stunt reels, and I think it’s fascinating that I only need to look at a few seconds to know if I want to add them to the playlists I create. From this, you can pretty much gather some of the things I look for in them, and here and now, you can include Matt Shadden in your repetoire with Eric Shamm Watson following through. The remainder of the playlist rounds it all out with footage by Justin Jackson, Kevin Fortin, Georgie Blackwell, Yarett Harper, Nathan People, Rufio Parker Luey, Malcolm Washington, Andrew Mihalko., Malin Kirjonen and Jomarie Palma, Alex Chung and Anthony Giovanni Elias. Now for […]

My weekend was a little adventurous. Nothing major but I do have a few things going on right now that may involve a little less activity here at Film Combat Syndicate, so I can’t guarantee the usual amount of content like always. That won’t stop me from procuring the weekly Hit List as per each Monday evening, because there’s more action to entail along with a small announcement on a project I will be making a cameo in, and you would be wise to keep up!… First up, as always in our weekly series of playlists is a reel loaded with various training and professional stunt and fighting footage from some of today’s upscale players, including Shaun Finney, Ross Kohnstam, Matt Berberi, Corbin Reinhardt, Aston Crabtree, Shane Yan and Leandra Giese. And now, onto some short fight videos with a vimeo-exclusive from Tyler Williams in Canada. His latest piece is […]

Believe it or not, I’m currently in the process of putting together two interviews. It’ll take me a little while longer to finish them both in between tasks with one already wrapped and waiting for editing, but I’ll do my best to try and balance out with the up-keep of content for articles… As such, the Hit List is still priority and the stunt reels and action shorts now circulating online are all the hype and then some. Stuntwoman Milly Nalin gets things started for this week’s new playlist of stunt demo reels along with Tom Cotton, Samantha MacDonald, James Mowat, Cody Mackie and Bayland Kippenkroger. The playlist finishes in stellar fashion with martial artist Shin Min Cheol, traceur Joel Eggiman, action actor Jerry Quill an action-packed work reel by Polish stunt troupe, Prime Fury, and an electric stage and stunt showreel by Réda Oumouzoune. Next up is a little […]

If you’re at all familiar with the freerunning scene, you might have heard the name, Rustic Bodomov (or Rustic B. for short). An aspiring athlete since the age of age ten, Bodomov is now an award-winning martial artist and self-taught traceur who has traveled select parts of the world to showcase his skills while also honing in on his craft as an independent filmmmaker.
