BEAT DOWN UPDATE!

BATMAN VS SHREDDER - We have another location walk through and costume fittings planned for this up coming week. It's so important to make sure we are as dialed in as possible when shooting. The actual film shoot will be five, 12 hour days, with a crew of about 10-12 people, plus the cast (we got some surprises) We are so excited to share more with you all in the coming weeks!

BLACK PANTHER VS BLACK RANGER - We did a Black Panther costume fitting a few weeks ago, with another one planned next month. We are also currently working on the design for the Bat in the Sun version of the Black Ranger costume, it's looking epic!

Happy New Year, everyone!

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who contributed to the Kickstarter and everyone of you for helping ignite the spark that’s launching Beat Down into 2026. Your support means more to us than we can express—and because of you, we have some truly exciting updates ahead! Batman90s vs Shredder90s up first!

January 5th

We’ll be heading to set to finalize lighting and block out the battle itself. Joining me on set will be my Co-Director Sean Schoenke, our Cinematographer Aric Abraham, Fight Choreographer Alvin Hsing, Batman Costume Creator Shawn Reevz, and our new Host Vera Bambi. We’ll be going live that day, documenting everything and sharing some publicly and some exclusively, so you can experience the process right alongside us.

Mid-January

Costume fittings are coming up for Shredder and April O’Neil! Join Peter Jang, Vera Bambi, myself, my father, and our Costume Designer Jose as we bring these characters to life. We’ll be going live, posting stories, and capturing it all for you. Final dates will be locked in shortly—stay tuned!

February 23rd–27th

It’s time for the main event: filming the BEAT DOWN BATTLE. Five full days on set with the entire team, packed with incredible moments, surprises, and nonstop action. We’ll be going live every day from set and documenting the entire experience. We are also thrilled to welcome contributors who selected Rewards 8 and 9, who’ll be joining us on set during filming!

More updates are coming soon—we’re beyond excited to share what’s ahead. And yes, we’re already scheduling costume fittings for the next Beat Down showdown: BLACK PANTHER vs. BLACK RANGER!

KICKSTARTER NEWS! We’re unlocking something BIG: PLEDGE OVER TIME is now live!

This means the campaign keeps going so we can continue unlocking Beat Downs while we roll straight into production. Your support doesn’t pause and neither do we.

If you remember our Dying Is Easy campaign, we hit $35,000 by the end date… but with overtime pledging we soared to $77,000. That extra support made a massive difference and we’re aiming even higher this time. Every dollar pledged from here on out directly fuels the absolute best, highest-quality season of Beat Down we’ve ever created.

And here’s the cool part: as we keep building and unlocking new milestones, your rewards grow with them. If you’ve already contributed, your perks can only get better from here.

Just like we shared on Kickstarter, we’ve already invested a ton of our own resources to make Beat Down happen, so these episodes are coming. But with your continued support, we can take this season to a level we’ve never reached before.

Also! We’ve been actively talking with sponsors who excited to come on board and make sure this season of Beat down happens! So buckle up and get ready!

We’re beyond thankful and incredibly excited to take this next step with all of you. December is going to be packed with updates; location scouting, costume fittings, behind-the-scenes photos, videos, and plenty more.

Stay tuned, stay hyped, and thank you for powering this journey with us!
