Nevada Film Office: We all enjoy watching films and consuming content, but making that content can be dangerous. Check out our interview with stunt coordinator Carl Ciarfalio about his experience in the business, what can go wrong, and what to do to make sure things go right.

This article was super interesting and I’d love to hear some of this guy’s stories. Stunt work has always impressed me (I even remember getting excited about step-in time in Mary Poppins as a kid.) He made some very important points about safety and the fact that safety is paramount. Admittedly in our line of work, there aren’t many scenarios that we cause danger, but this is certainly something to keep in mind. Above all else comes safety, no matter what the cost is. Live theater can’t be cut together to make it look like a certain stunt took place or have stunt doubles, but we could end up working on movies and having to worry about safety and dynamic sets. I found it interesting what background the stunt man had as a wrestler, meaning he was very physical and then he got into performing and that sounds like a very interesting trajectory.
