Here’s an action comedy short film (fight scene) that I made recently, about a guy who takes his coffee addiction too seriously! We came up with the name, 13 Pumps, during the filming process. Some people love their coffee creations just right, and get really upset if they don’t get them the way they wanted.. I used to see people like this all of the time when I worked at Starbucks in the past, and have always wondered what would happen if a real fight broke out.

So without further delay, please check out 13 Pumps below!

We came up with, and improvised the story with my stunt friends Vaughndio Forbes and Andrew Dismuke. My wonderful girlfriend Mary ran action camera for her first time, and I think she kicked some butt!

We filmed this fight the day after I watched the Keanu Reeves movie, John Wick, for the first time. I was really impressed by the fight choreography put together by the 87 Eleven Action Team, especially how they incorporated several good Judo throws into their fight scenes. My main martial art background is in Judo..so on the day of filming 13 pumps, I decided I wanted to try and incorporate some throws into my choreography, as well!! Vaughndio (the guy I’m fighting) did really well in learning and performing the throw on the spot.

This was also the first time that I’ve incorporated a “scorpion kick” into a fight scene. Made into reality after a good suggestion by Andrew (the guy in the white shirt), I was pleasantly surprised in how the movement turned out on camera! And Vaughndio’s impact-ful front fall that followed, made for a nice sequence in my eyes.

Another interesting movement that I was grateful worked out on camera, was the last breakfall in the fight. The reaction my character takes from Andrew’s spinning hook kick is called a “sayuchi” in Hong Kong stunt terms. I had only ever done it in a gymnastics gym before, and though it was a little nerve wracking the first time, I was pleasantly surprised with the end result.

STUNT TIP: The secret to doing the Sayuchi stunt fall, (in my personal way of thinking), is to perform it as a “header” stunt fall where you break your momentum by touching your toe to the ground first and slowing yourself down. Then from there, you add a little rotation to the beginning part of the movement, and land it like a traditional judo side breakfall.
