F4YL Going Strong! Need Dojo or Lobby Type Location

Fight 4 Your Life has now been filming for the better part of 4 weeks.  And we’re still going strong!  We had an excellent shoot on Sunday, August 4th in Roseville, CA.  Below is a still from some of the awesome footage that was captured.

We currently are searching for one of the following location types to film an important scene in the film within the next 1-2 weeks preferably:

  • Lobby able to be viewed from outside due to large open window.
  • Karate or Martial Arts type dojo with large open window allowing someone outside to watch what’s going on inside.

Either of these locations should be in more urban parts of town.  So, think city streets or older parts of town, including neighborhoods.  Let us know what you got!  Understand that most of this scene will be filmed from the outside looking in.  So, very little will be needed in the way of taking up the time of the location owner.  Please contact us for more details.  Hopefully, we can collaborate!  Thanks for your time.

Ms. Blackwood

Ms. Blackwood with Fleet (Boy)

Ms. Blackwood

Fleet’s caring mother, Ms. Blackwood was very tentative in allowing Fleet to start boxing when he was a boy.  But she realizes now it was one of the best decisions she ever made for her son, and for herself.  Even though she knows Fleet’s advanced abilities protect him in the ring, it still doesn’t stop her from getting nervous as all heck when he fights!  Fleet is her life.  And his safety and well-being is at the top of her priority list.

Ms. Blackwood went through a lot of struggle with raising Fleet, with his father leaving them not long after Fleet was born.  She decided immediately when this happened that she would not cry and she would not make excuses.  She fought her personal demons along the way and made things work, not allowing her circumstances to overcome her family.  Few people understand that it’s really from his strong-willed mother that Fleet gets much of his determination, work ethic and inner power.

Once turned off by the idea of her son throwing fists in the ring for a career, Ms. Blackwood has allowed herself to “get use to it”, realizing Fleet’s talent.  She owes so much gratitude to Ahiga for finding Fleet, seeing something in him.  All these years of his service to her son has earned her undying respect and appreciation.  She thinks of both Ahiga and Tony as family.  Without them, she doesn’t know what would have happened to Fleet….or herself.
