"You must destroy your past if you truly want to be free." Free The Narrative is an experimental film based on professional wrestling superstar EC3's "Control Your Narrative" movement. "Control Your Narrative" is built on the internal desires of a lost generation. To take back CONTROL To fight for their FREEDOM And to find PURPOSE. Documented by "The Narrator" and his film crew Free The Narrative shines an ominous light on the bruised and neglected talent of an abusive industry. Ten men rip the suffocating limitations of corporate wrestling by eliminating pinfalls, referees, and governing powers. Each man's individual narrative is intertwined, dissected, and original. What happens to a man when they are finally free to fight for what's inside themself? What happens when the internal fight awakens who you are supposed to be? Headlined by EC3 and Matt Cardona (former WWE superstar Zack Ryder) EC3's has a sick desperation in attempting to wake Matt up to his real potential by asking one question. "Are You Happy?" EC3 is not only challenging Cardona to "become who he is supposed to be" but is on his own personal quest to understand what happiness truly is. Free The Narrative is an exposé to the actual reality these professionals live in. By stripping away the industry's control mechanisms that have held these men down, their actual potential is brought to light. Set to an original score, "Free The Narrative is an entirely independent production that will feature an innovative blend of professional wrestling, cinema, and harsh reality. To "Control Your Narrative" is to "tell your story."
