TESTIMONIALS

 
“ 

For a Stunt Coordinator, the relationship with the 1stAD is one of the most crucial. Respecting and trusting the 1stAD is paramount to both an efficient production as well as, most importantly a safe one. I found that with Marco.

 
Marco brings with him a wealth of experience of the practicalities of action and SFX sequences, along with an intimate knowledge of the mechanics of the stunt coordinators craft, concerns and needs. He is always meticulous about health and safety both in prep and on set. 
 
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Marco and would recommend him without hesitation.
