“Stay Focused”
It Took Some Grit.
This was a passion project in its purest form. We had a vision and a narrative and really fun light gag to share.
The endless work that goes into wrestling, along with the support needed to be successful, is hard to explain. We wanted the audience to experience the effort and struggle of being a competitive wrestler, while also making them fired up by the end. We crammed in a lot of emotion into a short spot, which drives the story forward and makes it remarkable.
Our goal was to make a short film in under a minute. We wanted multiple acts, pace changes and to provide more than one emotional payoff. We feel like we succeeded in this challenge and created something special.
