​ABOUT US.

'THIS.IS.PROGRESS.' is a film about passion, community and family. Following a wrestler, a wrestling fan and the 3 promoters over the course of 18 months; it dissects what makes them, their wrestlers and the fans stand out as some of the most exciting and unique in the world.

Via a vérité approach we witness through hard work, love and sacrifice, how a grassroots company can turn into a global, cultural phenomenon. With punk-rock pro-wrestling as their maxim, we witness not only how wrestling can be cool, but an art form to be respected.


------------------------------------------------------

​For the past 2 years we have had the privilege of documenting PROGRESS Wrestling, the trials and tribulations of running a wrestling promotion as well as their wrestlers and fans.

Our producer/director, Dale Beaumont-Brown has wanted to make a wrestling documentary ever since seeing 'Beyond The Mat', but there hasn't been the right story. It needed to have a British identity, and then PROGRESS popped onto Dale's compass like a lightbulb!

In getting to grips with the story of PROGRESS we have focused our attention on answering the following question: who is PROGRESS? To us it is 3 fold.:The wrestlers, in the form of former PROGRESS champion and dad extraordinaire, Mark Haskins. The fans, as represented by PROGRESS ultra and super-fan Paul Lee. And also the promoters themselves, Jim Smallman, Jon Briley and Glen Joseph.
