THE HIT LIST: March 19, 2018

I had it in mind this weekend to try and review a couple of films. That effort compounded into one and mainly for all of the stunt reel and shortfilm content I absorbed. A lot of the entries I found and received were overwhelmingly good, although there was just some fat I had to cut. But… I think this is a delightful gathering! L to R (top): Jenna Hellmuth, Anthony Hoang, Sean Kohnke, Matt Healey, Stephanie Pham L to R (bottom): Alexander Burgos, Ashley Fidow, Deville Van Niekirk, Hannah D. Scott, Adam Chase Shai DeBroux is up first in a new round of stunt reels to start The Hit List for the week, and with a lively montage of material more than happily shared including her work at Sloyerstunts, Wolf Stunts and even with Vlad Rimburg to boot.

My weekend has been a little more entertaining than predicted – largely with my efforts on this site among other things.

It’s been something of an eventful weekend; things happened and by Saturday evening I was ready to hibernate away from social media through Sunday no matter what… Then I got a surge of energy and figured I’d put it to use and besides, there’s still a plethora of content to share including in this week’s Hit List that I’ve been collecting and I intend to introduce them now that I’m awake.
