We Are Not "Hollywood Stunts"

As we all know and have been told, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. With that in mind, I tried to moderate my reaction when I recently visited the website of Hollywood Stunts in Brooklyn, New York and saw that they had lifted much of my website copy verbatim. Not only that, but when I went to their promo video, saw that they had been studying our training setup closely and attempting to emulate it in every way. Problem is they are not qualified stunt coordinators or stunt people, but they want to try to make a living off of naive young people who want to get into the business and don't know to look them up on IMDb and see that they don't have one single stunt credit. Notice they don't even post their own resumes on their website, for good reason. Yet they (or their marketing people) are studying and copying our materials and our name and suggesting to the world they are us. Watch their promo video they are so proud of (because they don't know any better) and you will see one frightening mistake after another, if you know what you're looking at. Please do your homework and DO NOT confuse the stunt professionals as L.A. Stunts with this outfit. Look up Michael R. Long and Shelby Swatek on IMDb. Thank you.
