Working with little to no budgets and having to take on almost every key role of the filmmaking process themselves, including writing, directing, producing, cinematography, action design, editing, and VFX, has given both Harry and George a much greater understanding of the process than most directors usually have. George Kirby is also a professional working stunt performer/fight coordinator and, over the last ten years, has performed in some of the world’s biggest films and television shows, including ‘Star Wars, ‘Game of Thrones, and Marvel’s ‘Doctor Strange, where he doubled for Benedict Cumberbatch. Both George and Harry have helped design action for huge films and TV shows, including ‘Alex Rider,’ Sky’s ‘Curfew,’ ‘Lockwood & Co’ for Netflix, and ‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage,’ on which George was the fight co-ordinator. Not only have their films won them many awards, but have also made them directors to keep an eye on as up-and-coming new talent. Information above via their homepage.Read More...
