My contribution

I joined during prep and focused first on the new A/B method for shooting the fights, working with the stunt coordinator and director to develop a methodology that supported Doug Liman's vision.

I spent fifteen weeks on location in the Dominican Republic supervising a wide range of work: fights, car crashes and boat chases. In post I closely supervised the main vendor through to completion of the film, and produced previs and rough-assembly shots working directly with editorial.
