The Cinemondo gang welcomes special guest April Wright to the podcast. She directed a spectacular new documentary from Shout! called STUNTWOMEN: THE UNTOLD HOLLYWOOD STORY. April gets into the details behind the production of her film and fills us in on some of the intrepid high profile stuntwomen she interviews, their struggles working their way up in one of the toughest areas of film and television production… STUNTS!! The film also includes interviews with Michelle Rodriguez, Paul Verhoven and Paul Fieg. The excitement and thrills and the sometimes deadly danger. April’s documentary introduces us to these often unsung superheroes of the films and shows we love so much… the women who leap out of burning buildings, fall down stairs, crash through windows, hurtle backwards into brick walls after being blasted by super villains and drive like demons… they make it look easy, but it takes training and practice and the strength to excel in an part of the industry that people often think of as a man’s job. Join us for a fun chat with director April Wright and a fascinating, behind-the-scenes look at how it all gets done.
