  • Hi @Veronica Ellis ,

    We don't have a fight director attached, but I don't think it's something that would be relevant for this project. But thank you for reaching out anyway!
  • Hello Adam,
    Sounds like a really valid project, with an important message. Do you have a fight director attached? I would be happy to recommend.
    I look forward to following the deleopment f the piece.
    All the best,
