(Narrative short) A Mixed Martial Arts trainer goes up against gangsters who want him to fix a fight.

Caged Dreams
Pete Guzzo

The world of Mixed Martial Arts fighting is brutal, but not as brutal as the world of the gangsters who hold the strings behind the scene. It is a lesson Mac, an MMA trainer, is learning the hard way as his adopted son Randy trains for a shot at the title. Unknown to Randy, Mac had worked with the gangsters to fix Randy's early fights and now the bill is due. Randy must either take a fall or face death at the hands of the gangsters. Exciting and well-made, the film is also uncompromisingly brutal, and may be too violent for younger audiences.

Violence, language, mature subject matter
