Job Description: I have two assignments for this semester:
1) Recreate an action scene (I’m choosing two – the Richard Norton vs. Sammo Hung fight from 1985’s “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Stars”, and the Tom Cruise briefcase shootout from “Collateral”)

“Twinkle, Twinkle, Lucky Stars”
Role: Richard Norton
Role: Sammo Hung

“Collateral”:
Role: Tom Cruise
Role: Briefcase Thief
Role: Henchman

If you’d like to be cast in the above roles, please let me know which one in the title of your e-mail and what dates you have available for July! We are likely shooting the weekend of July 18th & 19th but can also do Monday afternoons after 3:00 PM, Wednesdays after 12:00 noon, and anytime on Fridays.

2) Design an original action sequence. This will be a hybrid of stylized tactical and stylized hand to hand martial arts set in the 80’s, facing a trio of drunk dudes coming out of a bar.

Role: Protagonist will be a punk woman of Black, Indigenous, Filipino, or Asian descent. Will also be filming a short 80’s VHS Dating vignette to set up the story.
Role: Drunk Leader (Mac-10)
Role: Drunk Henchman #1 (Hand to hand)
Role: Drunk Henchman #2 (Melee weapon)

If you’d like to be cast in the above roles, please let me know which one in the title of your e-mail and what dates you have available for July and early August! We are likely shooting the weekend of August 1st/2nd but can also do Monday afternoons after 3:00 PM, Wednesdays after 12:00 noon, and anytime on Fridays.

This is a project for college, so the pay will be minimal ($20 for henchman, $40 for leads) per day. A copy of the footage will also be provided.

Ideally I’d also like to form a stunt people action group here in Philadelphia. I own a Nikon ZR and will have access to other cameras later in my studies and would like to assist people in creating their own stunt reels, do shot-for-shot recreations of iconic fight scenes, and create our own unique action sequences. If that’s something you’re interested in, please reach out as well!

Some influences of mine action-wise:
Hong Kong: Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Yuen Wah, Moon Lee, Cynthia Rothrock
Korea: City of Violence, Bloodhounds
Vietnam: The Rebel
Tactical: Heat, Way Of The Gun, Collateral. The Channel

Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you!
