Martial arts (BJJ) documentary

[JKDRick]

I am looking for any film students (cameraman and editor)in the Los Angeles area that might be interested in helping to produce a documentary on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I have no film experience, and well, not much money. What I do have is a concept and the contacts with the martial artists needed for the film. If you would consider working for film rights or martial arts lessons, that would be cool. I am a BJJ black belt ( Rigan Machado) and certified instructor of JKD (Dan Inosanto). Also, an established cameraman in the industry and a writer (author not screen) have agreed to act as advisors. This would be an incredible behind the scenes opportunity for someone to meet some of the pioneers and most respected names in BJJ and meet with established professionals. Contact me at [email protected]

I apologize for the delay in responding, and thank you for posting. A documentary about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with access to its pioneers is a fantastic idea, and your connections and experienced advisors are exactly what a doc like this needs.

For anyone recruiting crew today, offering a clear credit and a short description of shoot days helps a lot. You can post calls at https://studentfilmmakers.com/casting-and-crew/ and in our Documentary forum. Best of luck with the film!
