💪 BEST STUNT PERFORMER (FEMALE) – CRANK IAFF 2025
Winner: JO ROLISON
🎬 Performance in: The Protector

Jo Rolison didn’t just perform — she dominated.
In The Protector, Jo brought skill, precision, and raw emotional power to every move, turning the backstreets of London into her arena.

Her performance was a masterclass in control and chaos — brutal when it had to be, graceful when it needed to be, and unforgettable from the first strike to the last beat.

This was strength, storytelling, and stunt work all rolled into one. Absolutely earned, absolutely badass.

🎬 BEST DIRECTOR – CRANK IAFF 2025
Winner: ADAM CHASE
🎞️ Queen of Hearts

With Queen of Hearts, Adam Chase proved you don’t need a big budget to create big impact — just vision, precision, and a team that trusts your lead.

From the tension-filled poker table to the explosive barroom brawl, every moment was tight, stylish, and full of character. Adam’s direction brought out the best in the performers, the stunts, and the story — making it one of the most complete action experiences of the festival.

This one hit hard in all the right ways. Hats off to a true director of mayhem.

👊 BEST STUNT PERFORMER (MALE) – CRANK IAFF 2025
Winner: MATTHEW MYLREA
🎬 Performance in: Queen of Hearts

When the punches started flying in Queen of Hearts, Matthew Mylrea made sure you felt every single one.

From high-impact brawling to precision falls, Matthew delivered a performance that was not only technically impressive — it was full of character, tension, and raw power.

He took the hits, gave them back harder, and helped turn the film’s saloon showdown into one of the most memorable action moments of the fest.

Flawless execution. Total commitment. 100% Crank.

🎥 BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY – CRANK IAFF 2025
Winner: QUEEN OF HEARTS
📸 Cinematography by: Stu Cooke

A good action scene hits hard — but when it looks this good? That’s next level.

Queen of Hearts oozed style from the very first frame. With moody lighting, bold framing, and a cinematic eye for chaos, Stu Cooke turned a dusty poker room into a stage for tension, grit, and impact.

Every punch was perfectly placed. Every camera move had purpose. This wasn’t just a great-looking film — it was crafted for the big screen.

Bravo to Stu and the whole team. You made the mayhem look like art.
