Jimmy Rage

Donation protected

Hey everyone!

We’re making Jimmy Rage, a hard-hitting, darkly funny comedy about underground wrestling, stubborn pride, and refusing to let go of the dream—and we need your help to bring it to life!

Our story follows Jimmy Rage, a 35-year-old underground wrestler with big dreams but still hasn’t broken through. He’s got the confidence, the drive, and the belief that he’s destined for greatness—he just can’t seem to get out of his own way.

Jimmy’s mother worries, his grandfather disapproves, but his friends and little brother stand by him, throughout his chaotic journey. Determined and stubborn, Jimmy refuses to accept defeat. His dream of making it to the big leagues still burns bright!

It’s Eastbound & Down meets Nacho Libre meets The Wrestler—a raw, hilarious, and heart-driven story about a man chasing a dream that refuses to die, no matter how absurd the world around him gets. But can Jimmy finally prove that he’s more than just a wannabe, or will he remain stuck in the chaos of underground wrestling forever?

Why We Need Your Support

Post-Production – Editing, sound, Music composer, and Color Grade
Travel and Lodge - Flights and housing for actors
Marketing - YouTube/IG ads, Posters, Prints

Why This Show Matters

Wrestling is the perfect mix of comedy, drama, and complete insanity—but no show has ever fully captured the underground scene, where passion outweighs paychecks and every match could be your last shot at making it big. Jimmy Rage is about fighting for something even when the world tells you to quit—and the hilarious, painful, and utterly chaotic journey along the way. A show that celebrates the passion, the egos, and the sheer absurdity of wrestling culture, whether you’re a lifelong fan or just love great comedy.

By donating, you’re not just helping us make a pilot—you’re getting in on the ground floor of something special. So step into the ring with us, and let’s make Jimmy Rage happen!
