Watch Stunt Mom

Stunt Mom is a 2018 independent film directed by Roman Tedesco and starring Janelle Tedesco, Vance Barton, and Chris Tedesco. The movie is a heartwarming family drama that follows the story of a mother who strives to balance her career as a Hollywood stuntwoman with her responsibilities as a wife and mother. The movie tells the story of Lisa Carlucci (Janelle Tedesco), a top-notch stuntwoman who has worked on some of the biggest high-profile films in Hollywood. However, with a husband (Chris Tedesco) who is struggling to find work as an actor and two young children to look after, Lisa's life is anything but glamorous. While she's at the top of her game professionally, Lisa finds it difficult to keep up with the demands of her personal life, and tensions between her and her husband start to escalate.

When Lisa is injured on the set of a film, she's forced to take time off and rethink her priorities. During her recovery, she decides to start her own stunt company, with the hope of making a name for herself outside of Hollywood's male-dominated industry. At the same time, she's forced to confront the reality that her husband's career may never take off, and she'll need to find a solution to support her family.

As Lisa works to build her business, she also starts to reconnect with her family. She takes her son on set with her and starts to involve her husband in her work, hoping that they can find common ground and reignite their relationship. But just as things seem to be picking up, Lisa's success is threatened by a sexist executive who tries to sabotage her business.

In the end, Lisa must fight to not only prove herself but to also show her family that she's not a workaholic neglectful mother but a woman who can successfully balance her career and family with grace.

The acting in the film is strong, and Janelle Tedesco's performance as Lisa is particularly notable. She brings a depth and nuance to the character, as she's forced to navigate the challenges of being a working mother in an industry that often ignores the contributions of women. The supporting cast is also solid, with Vance Barton giving a standout performance as Lisa's stunt team partner and Chris Tedesco providing a sensitive portrayal of Lisa's struggling husband.

Overall, Stunt Mom is a touching and inspiring film that delivers an important message about the challenges of balancing work and family in a male-dominated industry. The movie succeeds in showing the struggles of being a working mother in a male-dominated industry, but it also celebrates the strong women who pave the way for the generations to come.
