Biography

Ingrid Kleinig is a LA based Stunt Coordinator & Second Unit Director who fell into the world of stunts while swinging 140ft above the arena for the Opening Ceremony of the 2000 Olympic Games. Having toured the globe with renowned physical theatre company Legs on the Wall as well as the Sydney Theatre Company, she had formed a wealth of physical, technical & artistic vocabulary across multiple fields including directing & rigging that lent itself precisely to the stunt industry. Ingrid hails from a long line of professional drivers so vehicles became an early niche. She was one of only two female stunt drivers on Mad Max: Fury Road, can drive a Big Rig truck & hold her breath underwater for five & a half minutes. She was the first female to Stunt Coordinate in Australia & in 2019 won the Taurus World Stunt Award for 'Best Fight' for 'Ant-Man & The Wasp'. She continues to pursue her passion for movement within the realm of film by creating action that serves the story.
