WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN FOR YOU?

Pre-production starts with the script read through describing a scenario, era, location and backstory. My job as the producer will be handling the details including the directing, filming and editing. It will also entail the securing of sets and studio space, location sites, and finally wardrobe. Let me stress so YOU don’t stress - no prior acting, wrestling or stage combat experience is needed!

1. Safety is the key priority.

2. The goal of the action is to convey a realistic, suspenseful, stylish, intimate and ESPECIALLY chic battle.

3. Filming will involve multiple cuts, angels and shots. The audience will be brought in close for tight shots conveying intensity and playfulness or pulled back in wide pans to take the viewers for a ride as the action moves across a location's landscape. The footage will be spliced together in post-production to create a feeling of authentic, unrehearsed drama and realism.

4. The story you’ll follow will be original and the action exciting, so embracing your role will be fun!

5. Conveying energy and animation will be a must. I'm not looking particularly for extroverts, but you can understand that believability is a large part of your role. That doesn't mean you need to be "Disney" parade ready, but if you have a mellow "Rainy Days & Mondays" personality, sorry... this is not for you.

THE CLASSY ACTION

In tests of strength and feminine power, the two of you will wrestle/battle for 10 - 15 minutes in an action scene that has been folded into a story. I stress again that there will be none of the following:

Catfighting - Nudity - Vulgar language - Sexual acts like tribbing, grinding or lesbian activity - Hair pulling - Biting - Clothes ripping - Throwing objects at one another - Choking - Domination - Sadomasochism - Pornographic insinuations.

COMBAT ATTIRE

Your clothing will be reminiscent to the story’s specific era and styles. Depending on the script, the time periods can span anywhere from the roaring twenties to the present. An option will be pitched in certain circumstances, like a beach battle, to be in more revealing outfits.

Wardrobe will be discussed and approved prior to any filming. This is about celebrating your physique, shape, weight, height and size. Feeling comfortable in your own skin is a must and that includes, in essence, your costume.
