How Stunt Recommendation Works

Stunt work is different from other talent categories. NZAT only recommends performers with verified stunt training or professional experience — coordinators need to know that anyone brought onto a stunt team has the right skills ,right attitude and safety grounding behind them.

Verification means at least one of:

Official training under a professional stunt instructor (e.g. NZ Stunt School's Fight for Camera workshop, a common minimum starting point)
a professional stunt showreel
IMDb stunt credits
Stunt skills assessment

Training with NZ Stunt School is welcomed but not required. Verified stunt training or professional experience from any recognised source is accepted for the roster.

The pathway:

Get verified — through NZ Stunt School training, or your own training/credits from elsewhere
Build experience — many performers work as action extras at the same time, building on-set credits and industry relationships (see NZ Action Talent for that pathway)
Join the roster — pay the standard one-off joining fee to be added to NZAT's stunt roster
Get recommended — once on the roster, NZAT recommends you directly to stunt departments and stunt coordinators based on briefs and needs.

This is a recommendation-based pathway, not a public application

Fee structure:

One-off joining fee: $50 (same as all NZAT categories) — to be added to the roster
Per job: a $50 recommendation fee applies instead of commission — reflecting a one-off professional introduction rather than ongoing managed representation. This only applies to work booked as stunt work through verified training/experience; unrelated skilled-performer or athlete work is commissioned under standard NZAT terms.

Non-exclusive: Unlike other NZAT categories, stunt representation is non-exclusive — trained performers are free to source and accept stunt work independently, whether or not it comes through an NZAT
