Jay Huerto is a stuntman, action designer and filmmaker who got his start in the indie action movement, working up from making his own zero-budget films to producing viral YouTube films. He also wrestles, performs in live shows, does stunts in Hollywood films, and you can see him as a performer doing motion capture in games like God of War Ragnarök and Midnight Fight Express. And last but not least, he's a good friend of mine. You can see his IMDB here: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2514232/
