The Official page for "King Of The Streets: The documentary". Release TBD 💥 DON’T write us about fighting, we don’t handle the fights - Just the doc.
Real people. Real stories. Real stakes.
The real story isn't the fighting, it's everything underneath it. The things you don't see on social media. The loss, the rebuilding, the love, the impossible decisions.

How do you capture the most brutal fight club in the world, express as artists, and still be unbiased?
The answer is you can't. This has been the ongoing conversation for our cinematographers over the years. A constant battle of portraying and elevating. The answer is you can't.
Anything you point your camera at, you shed light on. You choose your moments. But at the same time, how else do you tell the stories beneath the hard surfaces?
The rush comes from the depth of being present in a very real moment. Not the fights themselves. Knowing you just captured a moment, or a line, that is so real and relatable that everything else falls into place. Something reserved for the very few... Goosebumps just thinking about it.
That is the thing that makes everything else make sense. That is the rush of a documentary filmmaker. @king.of.the.streets
We have about 100+ pages written for the Kickstarter book that's coming. It's coming to life, and it can't all go in there. BUT, before anything - We are asking YOU, what are you dying to read about? Fighters? Lore? Stories? Backgrounds? Culture? Philosophy?
Don't hold back. Write everything. What would you like to see in there?

We don't love the violence.
We don't love the violence, just for the sake of violence.
We look deeper and beyond that layer. That's when it gets interesting.
That's what makes us excited.
The person, their story.
Add in life.
Add relationships.
Add self-image.
Add the wants and needs for purpose and feeling seen and heard
Add the background and the hardships.
Add all the unanswered questions.
Add what keeps them up at night. The lump in their stomach, and what makes their heart sing.
Add tenderness, kindness, and love.
Now take a step back and look at that contrast.
What you see is a complex and flawed canvas, full of layers of paint Your eyes; Unable to stay on just one point. And as your eye travels, you get thrown into layers of feelings,shock, and sometimes overwhelmed with emotion.
No longer just a perp. His identity, no longer just defined by his ability to fight.
But when you see this image, as flawed and beautiful as anything, you understand that the violence is no longer the focal point, but a layer of many, many layers. The color no longer hot or cold, black or white, but the full spectrum.
And maybe then, when seeing the full picture, will you understand why this is a story to die for.

2025 passed in a flash, and here we are, back at it and ready to finish what we started.
Yes, it's been TOO long without an update. We know it, you know it, and you deserve the full story.
This hasn't been a walk in the park. Filmmaking isn't linear, especially independent documentary work. Stories evolve, access shifts, and sometimes life demands your attention in ways you can't ignore. After years of relentless work on this documentary, we hit a point where we needed to step back and handle what caught up with us. It wasn't the plan, but it was necessary.
Now we're back, and 2026 is our post-production year. This is when we actually make the film, when hundreds of hours of footage transform into the story we've been chasing all along. We're five years into this project now, and the amount of footage we have, the stories we've covered, is insane. Now comes the work of shaping all of that into the film it's meant to be.
A quick note on Kickstarter rewards: they're coming, but they're not our top priority right now. With a small team and limited hours, we're focused on making the film itself happen first. The rewards will follow once we've got the film where it needs to be.
We're VERY excited to present a sneak peek of some pictures we've taken for the book.

The relentless pursuit of irrational
Goals. Five years with this project on this day. Sometimes, there are some things that you have to do because your heart tells you to. Throughout this time, we have been through a lot. Been broke many times over, putting money into this when it should have been put elsewhere. The pressure has been jarring. Vertigo at times. It’s such a journey. But early on, we saw this very clearly. What it is and could become. Our life’s work - worth all the sacrifices and more. No compromises. The people involved; relentless, unwavering, and passionate. Always showing up. Always putting their everything into it. No f*****g around. Feeling so blessed and honored. You’ll see. ✨
