01 / Vision

We design action that tells the story.

Founded in 1997 by stunt coordinator and director Chad Stahelski, 87Eleven was born from the belief that fight choreography, gunwork, and vehicle action are not interruptions to a story; they are the story.

The name comes from the founders' instructors at the Inosanto Academy in Marina del Rey, whose roster numbers ended in 87 and 11. From a small training space to a full-service production studio, the mission has not changed: provide filmmakers with the equipment, the facility, and the people to perform action that audiences feel.
