May 12 2024 • 45 mins

Professional stuntwoman, motion capture performer, and champion martial artist, Thekla Hutyrova sits down with host Candice Bloch for a fun conversation all about bringing action to our screens - on film, television, and in video games. Thekla has worked on films such as Alita: Battle Angel, Logan, and Deadpool 2, shows such as Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Ms. Marvel, and video games such as God of War: Ragnarok, Mortal Kombat 1 and Spider-Man 2.

In their conversation, you’ll learn about how stunts are coordinated and executed, both on and off sets, some of the technology that helps make it happen, and discover more about the profession, the process, and the skills it takes to execute action safely for our entertainment. You’ll leave this episode with a greater appreciation and respect for the professionals that enhance our visual stories, and even some everyday useful information!
