Enjoy FCSyndicate? Here’s A Couple Dozen Stunt Reels To Make Your Day!
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. This is just a rough gathering of selections from the past month and throughout the year and, just maybe, if things are a bit more consistent going forward, then I can probably make this a monthly thing to help folks […]
THE HIT LIST: July 13, 2020
On the precipice of my second film festival coverage-loaded summer, The Hit List will be taking a brief hiatus until further notice. Alas, I’m happy to be able to put together this tentatively last hoorah while I get things in order on the writing end. For now, time to cast a spotlight on some of today’s top and up-and-coming stunt performers with a round of demo and training reels featuring the following: Rorelee Tio, Jay Kwon, Jeff Budner, Gabriel Rios, Kenneth Wolf, Michelle Fisichella, Freddy John James, Joel Fridman-Rojas, Paul Hampshire, Masato Di Santo, Sara Beko, and Eli Johnson following up with a performance and coordinator reel, as well as Michael Quach with a coordinator reel. It’s been a while since we heard from David Conk at Wolf Stunts but now he’s back on radar with Devin Reagan and co. for Mercenario Brothers which should be out soon, and the […]
THE HIT LIST: June 15, 2020
This next installment of the Hit List took some effort since not a lot of folks are filming anything right now, and I’m not really sure how things will look in the next few weeks seeing as Coronavirus is still lingering throughout the country. For now, we’re rich with plenty of stunt reels courtesy of Andy Le, Shiela Quevedo Cano, Terence Julien, Keilani Mussetter, Anthony Heilmann, Oscar Leiva, Taylor Krasne, Paul Hawk, Angela Sippel, Darin Hicks, Damali Ross, YouTuber Mikestarwalker, Gabriel Rios, Justin Sundquist, April Taft, Oscar Fernandez, Maria Gnecci, and a twofer by Alfred Hsing and his team at East West Action Stunts. Rounding out the playlist are coordinator reels courtesy of Juan Bofill and Olivier Schneider. There isn’t much to promote this week, save for a few trailers. First up is the promo for The In-House Grindhouse II, hosted by Art School Dropouts and launching on June 20. […]
THE HIT LIST: May 18, 2020
As you’re reading this, I had to get this installment of The Hit List on the day of! Definitely didn’t have much time this weekend, or energy for that matter to be honest. And frankly, Sky Atlantic/Cinemax series Gangs Of London hasn’t yet arrived, and so I’m going without looking at stunt coordinator Jude Poyer‘s latest reel as it kicks off this edition of The Hit List, although I’m certain you’ll enjoy it. The remainder of stunt and demo reel entries come courtesy of Molly Miller, Michel Quach, Matt de Souza, David Lenz, Grace Dougall, Gregory Balzi, Dylan Hintz, Gaetan Caillot, Katrina Leigh Waters, Mandalin Dragan, Dan Carter, Stephen Bodi, Veera Seppälä, Yann Brouet, Genís Lama, Haruki Yoshida, Hayley Wright, Veto Swarm and Kristoffer Jørgensen, and Pirates Project out of Japan.

THE HIT LIST: April 6, 2020
As stifling as it is to see life grind to a halt thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic, it’s been certainly beneficial the numerous performers and content creators out there who’ve otherwise been able to complete backlogged shortfilm projects. It’s also inspiring to see more folks hosting performers and projects on their own platforms to support other artists, and with the newest installment of The Hit List here, I’m happy to do my part. Up first is the usual round of stunt reels, this time featuring Tricia Guarin, Ron Smoorenburg, Phillip Dang, Ivy Haralson, Chris Cortez, Maurice Chan, Joelle Comeau, Devin Regan, Byon Tae-woo, Julia Morizawa, Sergey Ryabtsev, Woody Almazan, Marina Mazepa, Kyle Dean Bolt, Julia Elizabeth, Justin Cabanting, Kenji Shimohira, Nailah Johnson, Mark Stas, Sasha Simic, Tally Rodin, traceur LJ McDonald, and a fantastic performers’ love letter to sword in a montage of projects edited together by Aaron Toney.

THE HIT LIST: January 13, 2020
There are so many things happening in the world as we speak that it’s been difficult not to get sidetracked what with all that I have to do from this point forward. At any rate, the last three weeks have been quite the emotional rollercoaster in my personal life and with enough time, at least tentatively, to reflect and think on what I can do differently. That especially goes for The Hit List, which makes its return to Film Combat Syndicate with the new year underway, and a world of stunt and independent film talent to share. That field ultimately includes a good share of actors and actresses who are also capable of stunt performance and physical acting, and so with this, I present the first entry into our Actor’s Showcase courtesy of actor Axel Nu, whose screen credits partly include The Take Down, Nightshooters, Fast And Furious Presents: Hobbs […]
THE HIT LIST: December 23, 2019
