THE HIT LIST: October 28, 2019

I’m anxious for the next several weeks and what the possibilities may bring. In the meantime, we’re back again with another installment of The Hit List, packed with amazing stuntreels and online action short gems from around the web. We kick off the stunt playlist with Ron Smoorenberg, living a life of action with every move per his mantra.

I had a busy weekend, frankly. No time really to BS or lounge about but for all good reasons… but that’s for another post. Indeed your time is now here as the newest installment of The Hit List goes live, kicking off with a Vimeo-only post of actor Marc Natoli’s latest demo reel, inclusive with snippets from his winning shortfilm debut last year, The Proposal.

Last week was another busy one, so there were definitely about one or two surprises that came about while researching for this week’s Hit List, especially in the wake of New York Comic-Con… …However, those can wait. The Hit List is back and we’re starting this off with a fully-loaded playlist of stunt reels. Comprising the playlist are Alex Lopoka, Eclipse’s own Alex Chung, Travor Murray, Jonel Earl, Tang Nguyen, Bryan Grogam, Sam Parham, Mark Elefane, Josh Fried, two electrifying reels from stuntman Sato Kenji, a short cut of the latest production reel from Atom Phly Media, and a stellar montage of Star Wars fan film clips from this year’s Lightsaber Choreography Contest! Time for a music intermission, and setting the record straight is recording artist Demi Lovato whose latest, Confident, was released last week. It’s nothing short of eye candy for the average Lovato fan unless you like a […]

Building on those efforts, Shahaub recently teamed with a colorful group of actors and filmmakers to help put together a pitch video for an inspired new television series that looks every bit as worthy of mainstream syndication as many popular shows to date. The series in question: S.M.A.C.K. Unit, an action comedy series that guarantees a fair share of slapstick and amazing chemistry, with the usual assortment of world class quality action delivery to boot! David Crabtree (Psych, Where Would We Be) is directing the series as well as writing the script with leads Roudbari, and actress Ajarae Coleman (Scandal, Iron Man 2), and it goes a little somethin’ like this: The agents of S.M.A.C.K. Unit (Specialized Multi-Agency Counter […]
