ECHO TWINS // A couple’s weather-ruined romantic getaway turns into a fight for survival against malevolent twin spirits looking to capture unsuspecting souls. This was short film designed to answer the question of “how do we shoot a horror short film in the sunlight?”. Plans were made, tests were shot and locations were booked, though when we showed up to the location in the mountains of California we were met with a torrential wind storm. Story lines were adjusted on the spot and the team pressed on to create a dimension bending, action-dance inspired short over the course of 2 weekends. Thank you for watching and we appreciate your support!

Suiting up for Peacemaker Season 2 was a wild ride, with some major ups and minor downs but the Peacemaker vs. Peacemaker fight will always stand out. 💥 It took 3 stunt doubles + the big man himself @johncena to make this one happen. I was lucky to have two badass stuntmen back me up @chadcrum and @dargan_fire . Chad was already in the fight, and at the last minute after I injured my knee Dan stepped up. Between John, Dan, and Chad, that fight turned into something incredible. 🙌 I still got to play the acting beats opposite John Cena, which was such a cool experience. And seeing Chad and Dan back in action after overcoming their own health battles made it even more special. They say there’s no “I” in team and this scene proves it. Couldn’t have pulled it off without every single person involved. 💪🔥 Credits: 🦅 Peacemaker – @johncena ✍️ Writer/Director – @jamesgunn 🎬 Co-Executive Producer – Lars Winters 👊 Stunt Coordinators – @stuntsurfer @davemacomber @mpwilson22 🎯 Rigging Team – Lead: @michaelbambam10 @alandantoni @cyrusleisy @badbeard @ryanpmari Paul O’Connor ToddWarren @johnathon_tillman 💥 Stunt Doubles – @chadcrum @dargan_fire & myself @suspencstunts let me know what you’re thinking of the new season of Peacemaker so far! #Peacemaker #Season2 #Stunts #StuntLife #BehindTheScenes #DC

So I was a bit reluctant to share this when the @thecorridorcrew analyzed the stunt I got to do with @bobbydazzler84 on Extraction 1 because I’m sure friends and family don’t want to see me or anyone getting seriously injured, and I don’t ever want to glorify that. With respect to everyone that work has slowed down and the industry is changing, I think it’s important for us to keep sharing our stories and keep our safety hats on when our friends are on set doing dangerous gags (when we are). With that being said, I am actually very proud that I toughed it out for this stunt and that my peers show me respect for it (and that it’s cool enough to get talked about on internet shows), though I knew I eventually wanted to share @thecorridorcrew ‘s video and talk about how even though having the opportunity to do this gag was game changing for me, it was pretty serious and our jobs are too. I personally don’t believe making movies should ever come at the cost of someones life or at the expense of a persons health long term, so I think it’s important for anyone new getting in to stunts to realize the risks of what we do, why we take the precautions, and that even with a team of extremely high level stunt professionals, there are still accidents. @danielstevens1 does a great job of explaining that, and highlights that even though there is the inherent risk to our job, we have to see our families and get up and go to work the next day. I love making movies for my career, and I hope we all will be able to for many years to come. Stay strong everyone, take care of yourselves, much love, and I hope to see you soon.

Here is a fight clip from our short film Backstabbed! Check out the full short at Youtube.com/@Darganfire or click the link in my bio. Big thanks to Jenel Stevens and Travis Staton-Marrero for being down to choreograph and perform. The whole process was amazing thanks to you both and your loving nature, your knowledge, and awesome performing. Thanks to Al Thompson for being down to play a silly role that really tied the whole comedy thing together. And thank you to Jason Ng for taking time to grab some pick ups with the gang, Dominique Marro for the long night coloring sessions, the on the day helpers, and everyone thats given me advice and critiques over the year it took to finish (thats what you get for doing shorts with amazing stunt people and not finishing in one day 😂). I will be posting more as the days go on, in the meantime the whole thing is up on my youtube channel if you’d like to check it out. Nothing is perfect, but this one was a big accomplishment for me and the crew. Thanks guys, love you!
