Safety First, Always
Safety underpins everything we do. From pre-production planning to on-set execution, we follow strict safety protocols and risk management processes to protect cast, crew, and production.
Professionalism on Every Production
We understand the demands of working on set. Our team operates with clear communication, reliability, and respect for production timelines, budgets, and creative direction.
Action That Serves Story
We don’t just create action—we design sequences that enhance narrative, character, and tone. Every movement is intentional, grounded in storytelling and visual impact.
We provide stunt services for a wide range of productions, including:
From independent productions to large-scale projects, we scale our team and approach to suit a wide range of budgets and production requirements without compromising safety or quality.
Design, Safety & Precision in Motion
Our stunt rigging team delivers safe, controlled, and visually dynamic rigging solutions for film, television, and commercial productions. From initial concept through to on-set execution, we design and implement rigging systems that support both performance and storytelling.
Specialist Stunt Services for Screen Production
Our stunt department provides highly trained specialists across key areas of action performance, supporting productions with dedicated expertise where safety, control, and experience are critical.
From water-based environments to animal work, we supply skilled stunt professionals who understand the unique demands of each discipline, ensuring safe execution while maintaining strong visual storytelling; from coordinators, fight choreographers to performers.
Controlled Performance in Aquatic Environments
Our water safety stunt team delivers professional support for scenes involving water-based action, risk, or immersion. We combine stunt performance with water safety expertise to manage both the creative and safety requirements of aquatic filming.
Working across pools, open water, and controlled environments, our team ensures performers are supported at all times—both above and below the surface.v
Skilled Performance with Animal Coordination
Horse stunt work requires a high level of control, experience, and coordination between rider, animal, and production. Our team includes trained stunt performers and wranglers capable of delivering safe, believable action involving horses.
From controlled riding sequences to more dynamic action, we ensure all work is carefully planned and executed with respect for both performer and animal welfare.
