FORMER STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
"It was a truly amazing 3 weeks. You really do have the top training
program in the country and it is challenging to grasp the enormity of the knowledge passed on to me."
Lauren Cafrelli (Hartford, CT)
"I have already been asked to coordinate a small "indie"
slasher film in January. Nothing too extravagant, just a small fight, high fall,
and stair fall. I can't thank you enough for all you have done for me and I truly
will try and make you proud."
Daniel Mackey (Chandler, AZ)
"Man, I miss you guys. Well, for those who didn't know
that I was cast on two episodes of a Japanese TV show a couple of weeks after I
got home from training. And the BIG news is that I just got cast in the upcoming
film "The Pursuit of Happiness" starring Will Smith. I owe the stunt training alot!"
David Kiiskinen (Los Angeles, CA)
"I would like to thank you on a personal note, for one
of the greatest times of my life. The amount of knowledge and fun I gained from
schooling with people from all over the world was in it self, worth it to me, not
to mention the instruction from the greatest stunt school staff in the world!"
Michael Browne (Lake Elsinore, CA)
"I decided to move to California just about 2 years ago
today to pursue stunts. I got my sag card in about 5 months and got my first stunt
job soon after. Since then I have made a living doing what I love. Anyways, I just
thought you deserved a thank you for getting me interested in the entertainment
industry. You taught me a whole lot and I have taken it to heart."
Stacy Carino (Chicago, IL)
"I've did what you've told me the last day of the workshop,
I went home to Denmark and started my own stunt firm! I have gathered some of the
best new stunt performers in the country...many of them you know, you trained them!
We have been working on several projects. We have been staying very busy. Thanks
again".
Jacob Carlsen (Copenhagen, Denmark)
"Just a quick one to say thank you for everything. Stunt
School was everything I imagined and beyond. It has made me more determined about
entering the business. I am interested in your wire workshop and look forward to
seeing you in April."
Vikki Brustad (London, England)
"Been so busy ever since I got back that I haven't had
a chance to thank you for the incredible training. There is defenitely a glow about
me now when I walk into any industry related environment. I learned a great deal,
had a blast, and miss the incredible people I had the fortunate opportunity to train
with. You're the best."
Joe Gerrits (Chicago, ILL)
"It was an incredible 3 weeks of learning. What I liked
most other than the actual physicality of it, was the frankness you brought to us
all. I am not someone who likes a lot of fluff. Just tell it like it is and get
to the point - and you did just that! Your school ran like clock work and your staff
and assistants were superb."
Michele Masera (Richield, MN)
"I had a great time at the stunt school and I wanted to
thank you and the other instructors for making it happen. I have to say that I don't
know where else I would ever have found the instructions I found at your school.
Hopefully, someday I will be in a similar position to that former student of yours
when I am asked who taught me how to punch like that and I too can simply say....
Dave Boushey taught me".
Eric Scott (Los Angeles, CA)
"I can't begin to explain how much your wisdom and encouragement
impacted me as a performer as well as a person. You have provided me with so many
tools that will help me to build my life and my career in this industry. I am forever
grateful."
Eve Overland (St.Paul, MN)
"Thanks a lot for the workshop, sometimes it was really
arduous, but for the most part it was great fun, and I genuinely learnt so much
from you guys in the three weeks, it's amazing! You have a great bunch of instructors".
Noel Carrigan (London, England)
"I wanted to take a moment to thank you again for the fantastic training and experience
of the International Stunt School. I have never attended training that was packed
with so much information and was so much fun at the same time".
Brian Stampfl (Seattle, WA)
"It was everything I hoped for and more. Your training was one of the best times
of my life and has given me the tools that I needed to help accomplish my goals."
Mike Kalinowski (Coral Springs, FL)
"I just wanted to thank you for everything. Not just the training, but for convincing
me to get my big dumb ass up there. I could not have asked for a more professional,
tightly run learning environment. The most important thing you did for me was make
me well aware of my strengths, and weaknesses."
Chad Walker (Los Angeles, CA)
"It is my pleasure to inform you of my first official stunt. It was incredible,
I really left the crew scared for me after they watched me do a forward roll over
the stairs. Thank you very much for what was covered in the course. The amount of
information you gave us re: angles, technique, and choreography came in VERY handy.
You made me look very good."
Duane Bradley (Vancouver BC, Canada)
"Thanks to you I am now a professional stunt performer. Your school was something
I could not hope to find in Canada. I cannot thank you enough for your guidance
and professionalism. I am truly indebted to you".
Daniel Beavis (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada)
"I just finished doing Charlies Angels. My last few days were spent riding outside
and hanging beneath a helicopter! You gave me a huge break at the beginning. I will
never forget that. Stunts are going well for me down here in LA."
Marla Casey (Los Angeles, CA)
"Hey Maestro, my project is going great, we just went into production last week and
will stay in production for a year and a half. Oh well, guess I'm stuck, I'm a filmmaker
and it's all your fault."
Scott Duthie, (Los Angeles, CA)
"I did it! I have my first stunt gig coming up. I was sent on an interview for a
1950's, New York street gang punk. There were about 25 other guys there interviewing
with a six move fight they gave us. I did the fight and kicked ass! You're the man
who trained me Dave. I just wanted to inform you on my success."
Greg Guihan (New York, New York)
"Back in 1995 I attended your stunt training. I moved to the UK in the fall of 1996,
and have been there ever since. I work as a freelance historical/action consultant,
mainly on documentaries and educational programs. Last year's projects included: Warhorse
and Arms in Action, for the History Channel, a film called Lost Kingdom
and Secrets of the Lost Empires for the BBC."
Tobias Capwell (London, England)
"I have just earned my SAG card! I had to jump a jet ski over a camera man for a
national commercial for Texas tourism. I have also just been approached by a man
who is in the process of advertising a world record for the longest fire burn on
a jet ski. He wants me to do it, I can't believe it, and I have you and your school
to thank for getting me started".
Frederick Lesher (Munich, Germany)
