KNIFE

Live recording of Hannah Roze and Joe DiNozzi's Society of American Fight Directors (SAFD) Knife Test. The two take on a domestic violence scene from Raging Bull.

QUARTERSTAFF

Live footage of Hannah Roze and Joe Coppola testing in Quarterstaff for the Society of American Fight Directors (SAFD). Joe plays Captain Mal Reynolds and Hannah Saffron, in a scene from Firefly.

Our version of a 'Mr.-and-Mrs.-Smith-esque' scene from Joss Whedon's postapocalyptic-outerspace-western tv show, Firefly.  Saffron (a con-artist) tries to get away with her money, but Mal (the captain who happens to be her husband) lies in wait to catch her...

#HireUsBlackSails! In our rendition of a scene from Starz's gritty pirate drama, Black Sails, we use every weapon at our disposal to do damage to each other, including the table! Eleanor (the educated daughter of New Providence Island's ruler) confronts Vane (a brutal captain, coming into his prime,) when he screws with her island's trade-business and politics ...

This is a recording of a live SAFD Smallsword Test.

I (Eleanor Guthrie) and Ethan Itzkow (Charles Vane) choreographed the scene in collaboration with our teacher J. David Brimmer.

SWORD & SHIELD

Live recording of Hannah Roze and Tommy Schutz testing for the Society of American Fight Directors (SAFD) in Sword and Shield. The pair squared off as Snow White and the Huntsman.

In our take on a scene from Snow White and The Huntsman, an edgy filmic spin on the Grimm's Brother fairytale, the Huntsman chases and fights a girl in the Dark Forrest. He struggles to capture and return her to the Evil Queen's prison for a bounty. Little does he know the girl is the true-born heir, Snow White...
