TANK SINATRA & THE TRIPLE 9
The biggest name in the film runs the empire inside it. Two-time Webby winner George Resch — Tank Sinatra to millions — makes his dramatic feature turn as the man who built Triple 9 from a hook and a drop, wrote The Triple with a course ending at his own front door, and never tells a single lie doing it. Around him, the machine: the face of the brand and the operator who runs the room.
"I'm not selling danger. I'm selling consequence."
Fort Fortis
A converted cigar factory in Ybor. A chalkboard, a donation box, a three-dollar rule, and a roll-up door that stays shut when cameras come around. Nobody gets recruited here. They walk in.
Shot handheld, lit by what's actually in the room.
Triple 9
Glass, valet lanes, a smoothie bar and a peptide clinic behind frosted doors. An empire built from a hook and a drop, run by a man who never lies and never stops selling.
Shot locked-off and glossy. Every frame approved.
The underdogs, and what they carry
You don't know these names yet. That's the point. Everyone here is holding something they can't put down — open a character to read where they start. Where they end is for race day.
The story
Aaron Wills left college football when the panic attacks started and came home to Ybor to be with his mother. Then he found the sale date stapled to her door. The race that could save the house won't let him in without a registered team, and the only gym he can afford is the one with no sign, no cameras and a three-dollar rule. Behind that gate: a coach hiding from nine seconds of video, a nurse who runs the same route every dawn, and a man who never trains but counts for everyone who does.
"Nobody here got told to come in. They walked in."
Every ticket, presale and tee goes straight into finishing a Tampa Bay–made independent film.
Open casting
Race in the film
The final-scene competition is a real race, and we're filling the field. HYROX athletes, CrossFit competitors, functional-fitness and endurance racers — anyone in that world who wants to be on camera, in the film, representing their gym. It's an open format and every gym in the bay is invited. The more the merrier.
