Gladiators Of The South
A fight movie with an all star cast.
A former champion turned slave must fight in a brutal arena to save his son and reclaim their freedom in the Deep South.
An investment opportunity.
A chance to make cinematic history that lasts forever, with an opportunity to profit forever.
A movie with a purpose
Imagine if UFC legends like Rampage Jackson had been born in a different era — not as champions in the spotlight, but as enslaved men in chains. This film explores that chilling "what if," drawing a bold parallel between the raw power, grit, and survival instinct of today's MMA stars and the unimaginable struggle of enslaved men forced to fight for survival in silence. This isn't just a story — it's a cinematic reckoning, using visceral drama and timeless performance to ask what becomes of greatness when it's denied freedom. As an investor, you’re not just funding a movie — you're backing a cultural lightning rod, one that challenges, educates, and electrifies audiences. Be part of a film that punches through history and hits the soul.
Investment opportunity
As an investor in this film, your contribution goes directly toward production and marketing, giving you a crucial stake in a culturally vital and commercially promising project. The investment model is: once the initial budget is recouped through box office, streaming, and distribution revenue, all subsequent profits are split 50/50 between you and the filmmakers. This ensures your risk is prioritized first, and your upside is unlimited — offering both financial return and the unique prestige of helping bring a powerful, conversation-starting story to life.

Project Info
“Gladiators of the South” is a gripping original story conceived by UFC legend Quinton “Rampage” Jackson — a former light heavyweight UFC champion, PRIDE Grand Prix winner, and one of the most electrifying personalities in MMA history. Known for his knockout power, charisma, and crossover appeal in film and television, Rampage brings a raw, authentic voice to this powerful narrative. The film will also feature appearances by popular UFC stars and established actors, blending real-world intensity with cinematic storytelling.
Produced on a lean, efficient budget by a veteran team, the project is helmed by director/producer Jared Cohn — a prolific filmmaker with over 50 credits, whose work has been distributed in theaters, on Netflix, Hulu, Showtime, Syfy, and Lifetime. Cohn has worked with stars such as Bruce Willis, William Shatner, Mike Tyson and his diverse filmography includes action, thriller, and biographical films like Street Survivors: The True Story of the Lynyrd Skynyrd Plane Crash, which earned the People’s Choice Award at the Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival. His proven ability to deliver high-quality films under tight budgets makes him the ideal leader for this ambitious project.
