"Artists Behind the Action‪"‬ 87eleven Action Design

One of the youngest 87eleven Team members, Justin talks about his martial arts beginnings, getting his start in the movie business, and recently coordinating one of the biggest action movies ever, Fast & Furious 9!  

This week we talk with HOBBS & SHAW fight choreographer and stunt coordinator, Greg Rementer.  He first with with David Leitch and 87eleven on ATOMIC BLONDE and quickly became a highly valued and respected friend of the 87eleven family.  From live shows to the biggest Hollywood blockbuster of 2019, Greg tells us what it takes to get to the top.    

In anticipation of the release of one of the summer's biggest blockbusters, Hobbs & Shaw, we previously released a special edition episode with 87eleven Co-Founder, David M. Leitch.  This week's episode goes way back to David's early life in Kohler, Wisconsin as he describes the twists and turns of his path on his way to becoming one of Hollywood's most sought after action directors!    

With the monster summer blockbuster HOBBS & SHAW scheduled for release in just a few days, we felt it was only appropriate to dedicate a full episode to such a massive project.  87eleven Co-Founder and Director David M. Leitch dives deep into what it's like to be at the helm of a such a huge project with so many huge personalities.  David also shares with us his all time favorite scene as a director and it's probably not what you are expecting... 

After a couple of weeks hiatus because the Secretary was allowed to have some fun with the team, we sat down with Anisha Gibbs.  Brand spanking new to the stunt world, it didn't take her long to become a highly sought after stunt double/performer, most recently doubling Halle Berry in John Wick 3: Parabellum.  Her story is beautiful and inspiring, much like Anisha herself, despite her crashing, kicking, and punching her way into the business!    

Larnell Stovall's biggest accolade to date is discovering the amazing performance abilities of The Secretary!  Just kidding, Larnell has kicked, punched, and hustled his way to the top of the fight choreography business with quite a few hugely successful projects under his belt.  He is set to direct his first ever 1st Unit Episode the day this podcast is released!!  From humble beginnings in New Orleans and a love of martial arts, Larnell is finally on top!
