WAKE UP AND FIGHT
My name is Anthony and I am a filmmaker
and producer living in LDN.
I created Spar not only because i love the sport of boxing, but also because physical exercise has been a massive factor within the past 15 months for me in improving my mental wellbeing.
I wanted to create a universe which serves greater depth, human nuance, and sophisticated suspense than the genre has generally seen.
Our mantra is WAKE UP AND FIGHT.
This mantra is not only applicable to the character of Isabel but also one we can all relate to.
This means never giving up. Winning the battles that life may present. Challenging and overcoming self doubt to become the greatest version of you.
SIX YEAR JOURNEY
This isn't my first rodeo. I created a short film in 2018 called ’Spar,’ The short was a snap shot into the lives of ensemble. It's now lives on Youtube on Million Youth Media Channel with over sixty thousand views. I decided to make Spar into a tv show to further extend themes which we minutely touched on in the short. Themes such as brotherhood, identity, gender inclusivity and more.
Spar is my most personal project yet, an exploration on finding a gateway to mental health through sport. This series needs to be created now because mental health continues to be a taboo subject for many, especially young boys and men.
Spar will celebrate the sport of boxing and the role it plays in transforming lives by increasing discipline and respect within communities.

SPAR represents strong IP and has the potential to span across television, feature film and animation spin offs.
With the recent unveiling of 40 percent corporate tax relief for film and TV productions there has never been a greater time to invest. The whole season of Spar can be made on a lower cost base than normal.
MAKING A DIFFRENCE
Our launch event at Left Hook Boxing gym premiered scenes from the upcoming pilot episode as well as raising funds for the gym and their amatuer stable.
We want spotlight boxing gyms up and down the country, merging cinema and sports. With Spar we have a franchise that is for boxing. We welcome co-productions and sponsorships to push the collective vision even more.
