Dear Mrs. X
I am have recently graduated from the university of Southern California with a bachelor of arts from the school of dramatic arts and I am looking for a job as a fight coordinator! Your film "The Seven Feathers" and the "elaborate sword fighting scenes" you mention sound like a perfect use of my talents.
I learned to fence, then sword fight, at a young age (I was taught by my father, a historian, archaeologist, and Indiana Jones wannabe). As soon as I could fight proper bouts, I won them. Soon, I moved on to other forms of martial arts: Akido is my favorite. I was well known in school for my skill with both a Épée and my hands. In fact, I won the fencing championship every year I was in school (in 2013, I earned the nickname 'Widow maker' for a
particularly good win, if you're wondering where the nickname came from)
When I was in high school, I coordinated my first stage fight for out performance of
Romeo and Juliet. I also played Mercutio. The duels went wonderfully, especially my fight with Tybalt, which I won. While this may be considered 'bad' from a plot point of view, I consider it a triumph.
I also did work on some of my cinematicly inclined friends' films including the fencing scene from
Charles, which won several independent film awards.
My resume, and a video showcasing my skills, are attached above. I hope you will contact me. You can reach me at this email, by phone, or through skype with the name "widow_maker."
Sincerely,
Hildegarde Fenstermacher
