This is a free Behind The Screen event.

Do you have a strange desire to jump off a building while being set on fire? Have you spent hours throwing yourself down your own basement stairs? Do you heal easily and have a great dental plan? If you answer “yes” to all these then you might have the makings of a fantastic stunt performer. Come to this panel to hear from some of the business’s busiest stunt men and women. Hear their personal accounts of how they got started and where they ended up and the bumps and bruises in between. This truly is one of the most difficult and demanding professions in the film industry - come and learn some hard won wisdom from the folks who have truly earned their resumes.
