Check out Wake Up Juice, this excitingly violent and well-made short film from San Francisco-based stunt group, The Stunt People!
The Stunt People have been making high quality independent feature-length and short films for a while now, and I’ve written about them before. The latest installment of their work, Wake Up Juice, certainly does not disappoint! If you have ever woken up after a huge of a party with a huge mess of a hangover, and just wanted to kick some ass, you will immediately relate to the tone of this short.
WARNING: If you hate clowns, pizza delivery boys, and/or flower delivery girls..prepare to enjoy your revenge! Check out the short film below..
I look forward to seeing many more projects from The Stunt People..and to work with them on some projects in the near future!
Epic Chick Fight is an extremely, brutally entertaining new fight scene from director Leo Kei Angelos. The youtube video is a live action epic Family Guy chicken fight, filmed with two ferocious females!
The video is based on several of the popular gag cutaways from the hit TV show, Family Guy. Epic Chick Fight features two of my friends, real life stunt women Jesse Graff and Tree O’ Toole, and shows these chicks battling it out in a no-holds-barred fight for sweet revenge.
I heard about this project several months ago, and I’ve been impatiently anticipating its release. The talented group behind Epic Chick Fight managed to raise nearly $3000 on their IndieGoGo campaign, and utilized a lot of the stunt industry’s working professionals throughout production. The talented performers, the innovative use of locations through the fight, the production value and attention to detail in this make it worth watching and leave you panting for more.
It’s really inspiring to see some of the stunt industry’s professionals reaching out to the online community with projects like these. If you watch the credits to the video, you will see just how many industry professionals put their time and effort into making this a reality. Hopefully, the YouTube future will bring us more professionally made projects such as these. As an action fan, filmmaker, and performer, I’m ready to welcome the professional stunt community into the world of online distribution. I look forward to producing and working on some more juicy projects like these in the near future, and bridging the gap between the hungry action fans and the hard working and talented stunt community.

The website is updated several times a day, and the owners have an amazing grasp on the kind of content that true action fans want. They have a constant dialogue going on in their Twitter feed (@KeepActionAlive).
The Action Elite facebook page is also regularly updated. Since I started following them, I haven’t seen a single day pass without an article of theirs catching my interest. Their sources are robust, and the articles that I’ve personally read so far have been on the dot as to what is going on in the industry.
So take a minute to click on over to their site, facebook, and twitter, and check them out. I am sure you will find something that will pique your interest!
Being one of their subscribers, I naturally clicked over to see what it was about…and was pleasantly surprised when I recognized my good friend, Geran Simpson, playing “good” Link! ..now I had heard about this project from Geran a couple of months ago, but had somehow managed to forget about it until seeing it yesterday. Check out the video here..
My opinion as a big fan of The Legend of Zelda franchise, and as someone who usually works on bigger budgeted projects? THIS VIDEO ROCKS. I love the sword fight choreography and execution, I love the special effects, setting, style, and the concept…also, I’m pretty sure the guys at Corridor Digital filmed this video in two days total, which is an impressive feat considering the attention to detail they managed to portray while filming on a free, remote location.
I asked Geran his opinion on the choreography.. he told me “The fight was a lot of fun to shoot, and everyone I worked with was great. I just wish the fight could have lasted longer, I see so much potential for a more epic showdown..but we were held back with time constraints.”
I am continuously being astounded by the production value and ingenuity that the YouTube channels of today are putting into their videos. The future looks very bright for the online filmmaking community, as Netflix has recently surpassed HBO in number of US subscribers. My friends and I look forward to working more and more with the online community, to help bridge the gap between elite Hollywood productions and uniquely talented filmmakers.
Until next time,
