Millions have seen his work, but nobody has seen his face. From Director Kurt Mattila comes the visceral and inspirational film “Stuntman.” It follows professional Hollywood Stuntman Eddie Braun as he prepares and attempts the most dangerous stunt of his career.
We were on hand to interview Eddie when the film was on the festival circuit… check it out!
Contemplating retirement and having survived over three decades of hellacious car crashes, explosions, high falls, and death-defying leaps, Eddie Braun decides to finish out his career by recreating the infamous Snake River Canyon rocket jump, an audacious televised event that almost killed the man who inspired Eddie to become a professional stuntman: Evel Knievel. Eddie teams up with Scott Truax, the son of the NASA rocket scientist who built Evel’s original doomed rocket and together they hope to clear the canyon along with the Truax family name.
