STUNTMAN is a high-octane, tender, and unflinching look at masculinity, violence, and action-hero myths.

Action movies turned all the way up, flipped on their head, and smashed into live performance, that’s STUNTMAN.

"What makes Stuntman stand out, though, is a particularly playful, even tender perspective on those forbiddingly thorny issues, and a joyfully light-touch appraisal of their crucial impact on male identity and relationships."
