What STUNTS does

STUNTS OÜ is a Tallinn, Estonia-based stunt coordination company founded in October 2002 by Enar Tarmo and Reijo Reka Kontio. The firm provides stunt design, choreography, and on-set execution for film, television, commercials, music videos, and theatre productions. Its operations span Estonia and Finland, anchored by a long-standing partnership with FX & Stunt Artists of Finland (a 1994 entity co-founded by the same principals) and recurring collaborations with Estonian creative houses including Trikivabrik, Ghost Division, and Von Krahl Theatre.

The company's portfolio comprises more than 100 productions dating back to 1996, including high-visibility international credits such as Christopher Nolan's Tenet alongside prominent Nordic and Baltic titles such as 1944, Heavy Trip, The Twin, Firebird, and the television series Deadwind/Karppi. STUNTS' 2024 slate spans at least seven productions, including Blood and Sweat, Alfa & Zeta, Haim & Greta, Leivalaul, Seconds 2, The Souls, and SISU 2, demonstrating sustained throughput across both feature film and theatrical work. Go-to-market is overwhelmingly referral-driven and reputation-led, with IMDb and direct industry relationships serving as the principal channels for new business; there is no disclosed sales infrastructure, no external funding, and no technology platform underpinning the service offering.

The business model is project-based professional services, with revenue generated per engagement by supplying stunt coordinators, performers, and choreographic planning to individual productions. STUNTS is privately held and founder-owned, operates with a small core team (1-10 employees), and has not raised external capital. The competitive position rests on the founders' combined three decades of on-set experience and an embedded binational Estonia-Finland stunt ecosystem that is difficult for new entrants to replicate without equivalent track records.

Direct peers

• Key Stunts: UK-based stunt coordination company providing stunt performers and coordinators to film, television, and commercial productions. Direct peer because of the same project-based B2B stunt-services model and similar customer base of European film/TV producers.
• Atomic Stunts: Stunt coordination and performance company serving film and TV productions with a similar specialist-services structure. Direct peer because both companies monetize the same core skill set (trained stunt performers, coordinators, rigging) on a project-by-project basis.
• Mainline Stunts: UK stunt coordination firm supplying performers, coordinators, and action design to feature films and television. Direct peer because of the identical professional-services offering and target customers (production companies requiring safety-qualified stunt work).
• Stunt Practice: UK stunt coordination company offering stunt performers, coordinators, and action design. Direct peer because it operates the same professional-services model as STUNTS, contracting on a per-project basis to film and TV producers.
• Stunts Unlimited: Veteran Hollywood stunt coordination company founded in 1970. Direct peer because it sells the same core service—stunt performers, coordinators, and action design—to film, TV, and commercial productions on a project basis.
• 87eleven Action Design: Hollywood stunt coordination and action-design house co-founded by David Leitch and Chad Stahelski (creators of John Wick). Direct peer because both companies operate as boutique stunt service firms supplying choreography, performers, and rigging to feature films, TV, and commercials.

Others

• SAE Institute: Global creative-media education provider offering film and performance programs including stunt-related training. Listed as OTHERS because it is an adjacent training provider rather than a direct stunt-services competitor, but it is thematically relevant to STUNTS' training heritage.

Emerging players

• Australian Stunt Academy: Australian stunt training and coordination provider. Comparable as it combines stunt training with on-set coordination services, mirroring STUNTS' roots in stunt training (Reijo Kontio's 1993/94 Finland training courses) and project delivery.

Regional players

• Nordic Stunts (Sweden): Sweden-based stunt coordination company serving Scandinavian film and TV productions. Regional peer because it operates the same stunt-services model in an immediately adjacent Nordic market to STUNTS' Finland presence.
