About Inge
Inge Sildnik didn’t take the traditional path to becoming one of Australia’s top stunt women she crashed her way into it.
Literally.
She has:
- Crashed 36 cars (only three on purpose)
- Been in over 100 fights, and never arrested
- Died 52 times on screen
- Stolen Leonardo DiCaprio’s car
- Taught Lady Gaga how to fall off a stage
- And worked alongside industry giants like Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Cate Blanchett, and Mark Wahlberg
Passionate about performing arts since childhood, Inge began her career as a contemporary dancer. But her appetite for adrenaline, challenge, and physical storytelling pushed her toward something bigger. She transitioned into the world of film and TV stunts, and never looked back.
Today, Inge is one of only three female Stunt Coordinators in Australia, a trailblazer in a male-dominated industry, and a respected creative force behind major studio productions. Her credits include global blockbusters such as The Fall Guy, Furiosa, Mortal Kombat, Transformers 5, The Invisible Man, and Mad Max: Fury Road, along with iconic Australian television including Home and Away, A Place to Call Home, and Return to Paradise.
Beyond the screen, Inge is an extensively certified fitness trainer and a compelling motivational speaker. She shares the raw, real story of her rise, the grit, setbacks, and relentless self-belief it took to build a career where most people don’t last a day. Her message is simple: your story can be rewritten, your limits can be shattered, and anything is possible when you back yourself.
A lifelong adventurer, Inge’s passion for pushing boundaries extends far beyond film sets. She has trekked across Mongolia, walked the Kokoda Track, scuba dived in Iceland, and even traveled to Antarctica on a research vessel, always chasing the next edge, the next lesson, the next version of herself.
Inge brings a rare combination of courage, artistry, and lived experience to every stage. Whether she’s speaking to corporate teams, women’s groups, or creative leaders, her story isn’t just inspiring, it’s unforgettable.
