My name is Kyle McGuinness. I’ve been part of the Scottish MMA scene since 2006 — training, competing, and watching it grow from the sidelines. I wasn’t the biggest name in the sport, nor was I ever good enough to be but I saw who was. I saw the coaches, the fighters, and the underground shows that built the fight game in Scotland from the ground up.
Now, as a filmmaker and co-founder of Production Hoose, I’m bringing this story to life in a raw, cinematic documentary. This isn’t a puff piece — it’s a gritty, honest look at how MMA took hold in Scotland, told through the voices of those who lived it and built it.
Production Hoose, We’re a small, passionate crew. Every penny raised will go directly into production — travel (including to Las Vegas to interview JoJo Calderwood), camera gear, archive rights, editing, and getting this film to festivals and streaming platforms.
When the film is released, all proceeds from its run will go directly to supporting kids’ access to martial arts. The goal is to give back to the next generation — the ones who’ll write the next chapter of this story.
This is a once-in-a-generation chance to capture these stories before they’re lost to time.
Filming will commence June 2025 with a release date in Q1 2026!
