Project Detail

On The Ropes

Synopsis

When a local documentary maker is asked to cover a news story for regional TV on a 'proper fighting gym', run by Big Joe, little does he know how events will unfold particularly as his attention is drawn to a rival gym with a unique fighting style, owned by self-professed karate expert, Keith Kraft.

On the Ropes is a mockumentary and has been described as Spinal Tap meets Rocky with a little of The Office mixed in for fun, and draws from the writer's own direct experiences within the gym culture.
