❤️ SUPER Grateful for an unforgettable experience teaching Action Filmmaking in South Korea!! 🇰🇷

Over the past two weeks I had the honor of being invited to teach at Chadwick International School as part of their high school film program.

During “Action Week,” we explored how movie stunts and fight scenes are really created.. covering camera angles, choreography, reactions, timing, and safety. All of the students then ended the week by recreating their own fight scenes!! (And I made one for the practice as well!)

While I was brought in to work with the high school filmmakers, I also had the privilege to give talks and lessons to other grades and the theater students as well. Sharing the craft of action storytelling and physical movement with such a wide range of ages was incredibly rewarding.

Teaching and sharing what I’ve learned from years working in the film industry as a professional stuntman is something I care deeply about, and experiences like this remind me why.

Huge thank you to my friend @mikole86 for bringing me out, and helping build this program together. I had a great time creating this bootcamp with you, and I’m already looking forward to the next one!!

To all the students:
👉 Keep creating!
👉 Stay curious! (Remember the 1/4 speed trick)
👉 And remember — movie magic becomes real when imagination takes action. 🔥💪

PS. I have SO MANY PHOTOS WITH SO MANY PEOPLE! If I didn’t include ours please forgive me, and I’ll try to post some more soon 😁🙌

👉 Send it! We Recreated the Mission Impossible bathroom fight with @mikole86 and some students while teaching at a film school here in Korea!! 🇰🇷🎬

We had our students learning Action Filmmaking by doing fight recreations.. and seeing their hard work, Mike and myself felt so inspired that we decided to jump in on the action! 

We broke down the scene, studied the choreography, camera angles, and timing… then rebuilt it shot by shot. 💥

👉 This is one of my favorite ways to teach action filmmaking and stunts —reverse engineer great scenes and learn by doing.

Super proud of this group!! And also grateful to the students who stepped in to run camera for us, as well as Jude who played Tom Cruise’s part! You all took direction so well and I’m proud to see how you work on a set 🥲 we all put in an awesome effort, with great energy, and a lot of laughs along the way. 

What fight scene should we recreate next?
