What Producer/Directors are saying about Jon Funk as a stunt coordinator:

"It gives me great pleasure to recommend Jon Funk. In my recent film production of Macbeth he was a rock to depend upon at all
times.
He was helpful not only in martial arts but also as an artist and helper on set. He combines the best of being a gentleman and a thorough professional. Any production on set or in the theatre would be greatly assisted by having him on-board. I look forward to working with him in the future in all my productions.
- Robert Light MFA. Producer/Director, Macbeth"

"Jon is an excellent stunt coordinator. He is a total perfectionist. A real pleasure to have on set"
- Adriane Polo - Producer/Director, The Big Bank Theory

"Not only was Jon Funk a superb stunt coordinator, but he helped us choreograph and re-create an elaborate 19th century pistol-duel with very inexpensive pyrotechnics, with little time to prepare. That was truly amazing."
- Dan Zukovic - Producer/Director, Dark Arc

"Jon, we are very much in your debt for the awesome contribution you made to the project. What a pro! I still can't believe our luck in having someone of your caliber help us. Eternal thanks! Best regards."
- John Hatch - Director, Harry MacDuff

"Thank you once again for all your hard work on the set of "Crayon." Your professionalism and experience elevated the project to a level seemingly out of reach of the budget. I look forward to working with you in the future (hopefully with a budget more suited to the quality of work you deliver!)."
Michael Lewis - Director, Crayon


"The wheelchair stunt in "The Harp" is the true climax of the film and earned a spontaneous burst of applause at its premiere screening!"
John Bolton - Director, The Harp
