5 auditions (and years) later…
.
Every year when I got to come to Bourne auditions with hundreds of super talented stunt performers, I was so excited. It was another day I got to train with old friends and make new friends while honing my skills.
.
Anytime I got cut from those auditions, I may have felt a bit disappointed, but I knew that it ultimately wasn’t always the lack of talent or skills that needed to improve (but always training to improve, of course); it just simply was not my time to be there. I would not be where I am now in life if I had gotten to join when I wanted to initially.
.
Just an encouragement to anyone who needs it; KEEP GOING. If you want it bad enough, get back up and do it again. Your time will come, it just may not be exactly when you want it. Thank you to everyone who was a part of this process, and @action_horizons_stunts for this opportunity! Gloire à Dieu!

Here’s a little peek behind the curtain 🎬

Previs ➡️ On the Day

We moved some choreography around once we got on set, but all in all, the original idea stayed pretty much the same.

Always cool seeing something go from an idea, to previs, to the final shot. 💥

A little BTS + POV of how we got the shot 👀🎥

Thank you again to everyone involved!

Growth comes from showing up every day. I’m constantly learning, pushing myself to be better, and staying hungry. Even more inspiring is being surrounded by some incredibly talented people on this project who challenge me to raise the bar every single day. Grateful for the opportunity, the lessons, and the team… Just keep going little by little you will get there.

New Sprite Video Coming Soon!

Special shoutout to @neokeo84 for making a some test shots look cinematic and inspirational 🙌🏻
