I’m Riley Stearns and I make films and train jiu jitsu. AMA.


I started training jiu jitsu in 2013 and I haven’t been the same since. I’ve found that having my ego checked on the mats on a daily basis has made me a better human being. Like most men, I’ve struggled at times with my identity and society’s unrealistic expectations of masculinity. I decided to make a film set in the world of martial arts but use that seemingly straightforward setting to explore some of those personal thoughts and fears. The result is my new film “The Art of Self-Defense,” a dark comedy starring Jesse Eisenberg which comes out this Friday, July 12th.Trailer - https://youtu.be/7Bms6Hba-3AWebsite - https://ift.tt/2G47OMZ https://ift.tt/2YJxZzY via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2LQkbjk
