Manage episode 380595182 series 3522743
Keir Beck is a down to earth Aussie who transitioned from a gardener to a tree arborist then onto the wild and dangerous world as a stunt coordinator & rigger. Keir’s career highlights include Pitch Black, Mad Max- Fury Road, three Matrix films, Casino Royale & his latest collaboration with Ron Howard in the film Thirteen Lives.
Keir’s journey embodies the wisdom of self-belief, waiting for ideas to turn up and not over thinking. This invaluable attitude of "having a go" has supported his career well and to quote Keir, “I’ll go on my intuition, but I’ll always take my brain with me to defend my ideas.”
A very enjoyable chat and a peak behind the movie screen to the intricacies and dangers of stunt rigging. You’ll love it!
N.B. Thank you to Jack Henry for his immaculate editing skills to cut out my ums and ahh’s.
