The Stunt People is an all-in-one independent action performer, filmmaker, and fan resource/news site. I have been following them for almost 5 years and they’re my recommendation for you to check out this week!
This site, run by action artist Eric Jacobus, follows a group of martial artists, acrobats, stunt performers, and filmmakers who work out of the San Francisco Bay Area (California, USA). The members of this awesome collaboration call themselves “The Stunt People”. They have produced several independent feature films, and continue to develop new projects while releasing youtube videos and tutorials on a regular basis.
The Stunt People website features a well-kept and informative Forum, a News page for their projects, and a Store where you can purchase their films and memorabilia.
Eric Jacobus is the founder of this cool project. His expertise in the action film genre stems from producing/starring in several independent action films, and working closely with the San Francisco stunt community to help it expand. He has starred in six feature length films (and countless short films), and is known for his comedic on-screen persona and high-flying acrobatic maneuvers. Among his films are the cult classic Contour, and the critically-acclaimed Death Grip. You can also watch Eric perform as “Stryker” in the second season of the Mortal Kombat Legacy series, premiering later this year. (click image to watch the trailer)
I first stumbled onto the site back when I lived in Scotland, and through the forum I spent several years making friends in independent action filmmaking circles all around the world. I scoured the forum in fascination as I learned important skills as a filmmaker and performer, and got useful feedback on my personal projects. The Stunt People forum inspired me greatly and was one of the main factors that helped me make my decision to move out to Los Angeles and pursue stunts full time.
The quality, attention to detail, and ingenuity that the Stunt People team puts into their work is admirable. As an action fan and fellow filmmaker, I am looking forward to working with them soon..
