"Hello StuntList Community,


A big thanks to StuntList and all who have attended my courses and made each one a special success. I tell my students my training is first and foremost about community, culture and attitude and that all the other stuff follows. It’s great to see those values alive and well in each class and in our community!

I have three courses left and might not be able to offer anymore till 2025.
  • March 4-8
  • March 25-29
  • April 15-19
I’ve had a number of cancellations in next week's course as candidates take much needed work. Feel free to contact me directly by phone, text or email if you’re interested.

Regards,
Perry
