Drawing on a career of action in films like Man Who Feels No Pain, viral hits like Rope-A-Dope and Blindsided, and game series like God of War and Mortal Kombat, Eric Jacobus delivers a tech-agnostic guide that prioritizes the timeless human universals of physiology, psychology, and relationships over the latest gear trends.

This masterclass maps the complete Action Ecosystem, demonstrating how to synthesize performance, choreography, camerawork, and editing to create maximum cinematic impact regardless of your equipment. By focusing on the soul of movement and the meaning of action, Badass on a Budget proves that you don't need a Hollywood budget to start making epic action films.

Praise for Badass on a Budget

I consider Eric Jacobus to be a truly unique talent in the world of action cinema. With his encyclopedic knowledge of action and martial arts films, he brings passion and commitment to every project. In the low-budget independent realm, Eric is undoubtedly one of the most inventive action stars and filmmakers out there. His creativity and skill as an action performer in projects like Rope-a-Dope and Blindsided were awe-inspiring to me. Watching Eric in action is always amazing, so I can't think of a better guy to write a book about it.
