Stand Up Wrestling Documentary coming to Seed&Spark

No doubt about it: Stand Up is done, finished, polished, and ready for you to watch.


However we also want to have a theatrical release so that wrestling communities can use the film to fundraise, grow, and inspire their programs. Stand Up is all about giving back to wrestling, and inspiring. In order to do this, we will presell the film to you so that we have the funds to make the theatrical and community screenings possible.

We want you to join us on our journey of making a difference in wrestling communities, and inspiring people of this sport no matter who they may be: wrestler, coach, or parent. We want to give back with you!

So how this will work is, when Stand Up goes live on Seed&Spark, you will be able to purchase different tiers of Stand Up. For example: Tier one at $8 will earn you a digital rental. Tier two at $16 will earn you a digital download. Tier 3 at $25 will earn you a DVD shipped to you. Tier 4 at $35 will earn you a special edition DVD with special edition digital access. And so on... (These are not concrete.)

Want in? Get notified when we go live ASAP by signing up on our preorder form.

Is it crowd funding? Sure. Is it more you getting your hands on the product earlier than everybody else? Yes! You are, in a way, preordering.


So that means we will be closing the preorder function on our website, and replacing it with Seed&Spark. What's going to happen to the people who already signed up to preorder? Awesome things! That's what!

Our early and loyal commitments will receive a special thanks, and continue to recieve VIP exclusive access for exclusive content of the film if they so chose. We thank you for baring with us while we figure this process out, and we deeply appreciate your loyalty. It doesn't go forgotten! Sign-up to preorder before this window closes!

By the way, have you seen our latest trailer?


Keep it Reel!

Two high school seniors have one last shot to rise to the expectations of their team by wrestling to the PIAA State Tournament.

Stand Up, the feature documentary film on escaping from bottom, is now taking names for pre-orders! If you haven't done it already, head over to reelnationmedia.com/standup to sign up. And if you have already so, make sure to read on to see what you will be getting in return! But some of you may be asking...

Why are we asking for your names and information when we are not yet able to actually take payment?

First off, Stand Up is still in the distribution stage, where we are trying to figure out the best ways to have our film reach you, our audience! Having your information will help us determine if a theater screening, DVD, or online download/rental would be best for you.

Secondly, Reel Nation Media is still in the process of acquiring commercial rights to the materials used in the film. It would simply be unlawful to make any sales at this point.

Finally, Reel Nation Media and Stand Up's filmmakers want to take this opportunity to get to openly interact and know you before any business gets in the way of that. To thank you for taking interest in Stand Up, we want to share with you the following before anyone else:

  • 1st notice of any purchaseable and pre-purchaseable options

  • News concerning film festivals

  • News concerning test screening lotteries

  • First look at teasers and trailers

  • First look at movie extras

  • First look at a new music video on the film

  • Access to a future "pre-pre-order" discount

And the greatest thing we think we can offer:

  • VIP Status when contacting Reel Nation Media

For us this is huge because we really value what you have to say, and we will truly take it to heart. The reason why we make films in the first place is to have it projected to you, and to hopefully illuminate a part of your life. So we want to get to know you, talk to you, and ultimately serve you.


We can't wait to share theses things with you. Please feel free to share this email, Stand Up, or our website, so that we may get this message to everyone who needs it: "Stand Up!"

That's all for this update. We will send another as soon as a new development or extra listed above arises. Keep it Reel.
