James Couche is a U.S. Air Force veteran and an independent action filmmaker. He started his filmmaking journey at the age of 10, making DIY stop motion videos with nothing but a clunky, "rocket-launcher" video camera. Without any of the traditionally necessary tools to work with, he had to find a way to reverse engineer the stop motion process. This "do or die" approach would come to define his filmmaking style; constantly pushing to outmaneuver the limitations forced on him.
