The Decisive Blow

An arthouse short documentary film exploring the knockout's morbid enchantment of combat sports fans, the neuroscience behind its occurrence, the art and mechanics of delivering a KO and the long term brain damage effects of head trauma.

Myself and Director Curtis Blair both boxed as amateurs and found a connection in our joint love of boxing, from there, his idea grew and we worked together to start the process of creating the documentary.

Nearing completion at the end of 2025, we have 3 days left of production in early 2026 on a project that has seen us travelling across the UK to capture all the elements to bring the story together.
