    Fencing choreographer in Miami?

    The daughter of a friend (graduated from college a couple of years ago, now an aspiring film-maker) is looking for someone to help her choreograph a couple of fencing scenes in her upcoming movie (in Miami). No money, I don't think. Just the experience and chance to meet some cool people.

    I don't know of anyone around here who has any stage fencing experience, but here's the link to the Gold Coast Division website, it has a complete list of clubs.

    Try contacting Tim Weske at SwordPlay in Burbank ( www.swordplayla.com )... he may not be able to do the scene himself, but he might know someone you in Florida.
    Need fencing equipment? See me at H.O.M. Fencing Supply

    Going to your first tournament? Read "Choose yer weapon, Laddie (or: Dude, where's my foil?)"

    for that matter, I believe there's a stage combat presence at the op's very own club... I'd suggest you discuss it with them.

    As another alternative, you might contact the Theater departments at University of Miami and Florida International University.

    You're not looking for a fencer, you're looking for a fight choreographer. I'd suggest going right to the source and contacting the Society of American Fight Directors. If you go to their South East Region page, they list a number of people in Florida (where in Florida, I don't know).

    Lecure and Soroko are apparently both in Miami.

    Oh, I get it, it's a joke! Hahaha! It's ironical because movie makers never consult fencers.
