MYB Season 7 EP12: The Business of Stunt Mastery and Human Movement Approach to Storytelling and Life.

The Pritchett Brothers Studio was thrilled to invite this final guest of the season and landed an interview with him.  Just like many of the other final recordings, we were honored when a well liked person, who also happens to have incredible connections to pop culture and National TV exposure, shared his story of success, transformation, and personal growth with us. Patrick Kelly, originally from Indiana, initially pursued pre-med and biology before transitioning to folklore, anthropology, psychology, and ultimately focusing on martial arts and human development after graduating from IU. He moved from biological research to martial arts, where he found a rewarding career in human movement storytelling. Starting in 2008/2009, Patrick began his stunt work, involving stage combat and martial arts performances for TV and film, including the series Vikings. He emphasized the importance of subverting expectations, creating emotional moments, and ensuring the narrative takes center stage in stunts. His Filipino martial arts background influenced his approach to storytelling, focusing on intent and result. Patrick advocates for discipline, dependability, and maintaining personal connections to foster growth. He goes by the motto "train and fight smarter, not harder" and enjoys hobbies like cycling and walking his dogs to avoid burnout and maintain balance. Kelly believes in being a reliable team player, continually improving, and seizing opportunities through preparedness and risk. Try to catch Patrick on the next Vikings season, where you might find him lying in dirt in fake blood surrounded by horse manure as part of his sensible storytelling experience in Ireland.   Patrick Kelly IMDB Podcast Studio Sponsor Podcast Sponsor Podcast Sponsor Episode 7-12 Sponsor Episode 7-12 Sponsor
