As someone who wrestled most of their young adult life, Over/Under explores the darker side of wrestling culture. The film is based off real stories that occurred to many of my peer’s in the sport as a result of insecurity, self hatred and enormous amounts of pressure to maintain and cut weight in order to play the sport they loved.

DESCRIPTION:

My first narrative film was constrained due to the pandemic. I was stuck to the confines of my home with no real equipment. Although on paper this sounds like a nightmare what it allowed me to focus on was to me the most important aspect of what we are trying to do as creatives, make stories. Instead of getting down on myself I instead looked at what I could do with my surroundings, what story I could tell and what world I could create or go to which inspired the premise for this film.
