Chokeslam the movie is being made by Chaos A Film Company. However, Chokeslam is still an independent Canadian film! Support our nation's arts and culture. Participate in one of the most entertaining films and campaigns around and enjoy themed perks and events just for you!

From Robert, one of our co-writers, and the director:

"My co-writer on Chokeslam is JASON LONG a wrestling aficionado. and local curmudgeon. Our time together goes way way back.... 

“Both Jason and I wanted something waaay lighter in tone from our previous work. I was inspired by looking through a yearbook and staring at all the faces that I used to see way back. It was weirdly eerie for me. Still is. Some moved across the world, some have kids, some have divorced…some have died. Everyone’s path is at a crossroads after graduating. That’s what we started with, how two classmates, joined at the hip, are separated upon graduating. Oceans between them suddenly. 

And then came the odd couple element. Instead of the powerful wrestler character being a man, we knew right away it should be a woman. Flip things a bit. And instead of the conventional leading man, we thought about a taciturn, hermit type who lives in his mother’s basement. The minutiae of the plot has taken many different directions, but those elements--coming together after ten years away from high school, shy/timid boy man meets large and in charge female wrestler--has been there since the beginning. To me, CHOKESLAM is HAROLD AND MAUDE crashing its car into ROCKY 3."
