    Kyle Woods: Stunt Coordinator For "A Quiet Place 2" & "Bad Boys 3" Takes Us Behind The Scenes

    Kyle Woods is a Stunt Coordinator, former Street Bike Freestyle Rider and half of 5150 Action Inc. He is responsible for the coordination, choreography, casting, and safety of the stunt actors and stunts you see in films and tv shows.  Throughout our conversation we touched on so many different topics like how he got his start in the business, his favorite projects, the pay for stunt actors and what makes a project difficult. He even gave us some insight of what it was like working on "Bad Boys 3" and what Will and Martins chemistry was like on set. This episode was a fun one to record because we filmed it on the set of "A Quite Place 2"  almost two years ago back in 2019. I wanted to wait to put this this episode out until the film was released but of course due to Covid the film got pushed back over a year. So here it is... finally.

    Byron Brown II- Walking in Your Truth as a Creative

    This episode is very different from all of the other episodes I've recored.  In this episode I discussed less about his responsibilities working in the electrical department in the TV/ Film  industry and more about who he is as a person and what its like working as a creative in Buffalo. The first half of the episode  we discuss what he does on film sets, how he got his start and what the electrical department is responsible for. The second half on the interview we really opened up about his truth being a creative, what's is like being the son of the Mayor of Buffalo and mental health. We even had the Mayor and our special guest Mitch Arizona chime in during the interview. As always I hope you guys enjoy this episode for its honesty and transparency.
