Film Term of the Week: Stunt Coordinator

Stunt Coordinator

1. A stunt coordinator, usually an experienced stunt performer, is hired by a TV, film or theater director or production company to arrange the casting (stunt players and stunt doubles) and performance of stunts for a film, television program or a live audience.

Where the film requires a stunt, and involves the use of stunt performers, the Stunt Coordinator will arrange the casting and performance of the stunt, working closely with the Director.

In many cases, the stunt coordinator budgets, designs and choreographs the stunt sequence to suit the script and the director’s vision.
