PIPPA CROSS & DAVID BELTON
"We knew that we would need a Stunt Co-ordinator every day and that's when we met, and I think we're supposed to say "Fell in love with Jason White!" Cos he was FANTASTIC!"
MIKE SMITH - PRODUCER
"I was so pleased with the wrecking scenes in the sea - that was down to you Jason"
PHILIPPA LOWTHORPE - DIRECTOR
"A huge thank you for a job brilliantly done and for confidently steering us through the maze that is contemporary stunt-arranging and performance.
We have some exceptional action footage and it makes such a quantum difference to the credibility of the piece when its executed with conviction and a sense of natural reality. Great stuff!!"
JEREMY GWILT - PRODUCER
"I have to give a special shout out to Jason, a phenomenal fight and stunt coach! What you didn't see was how much care, patience and attention he gave me personally in both the fight club and the gun scene! It never felt like I was a burden or requiring too much attention, and that was a huge part of what gave me the confidence to fulfil my role. So Jason, thank you from the bottom of my heart!"
RHIANA - BRING THE DRAMA
"The wrecking/murder scene, filmed under skies of poison, will live long"
