Global Digital Releasing is proud to announce the digital release of the award-winning documentary, The Mighty Mantaur, on June 28th, 2024. Directed by Faustus McGreeves, this compelling film offers an intimate look into the life of WWE Superstar Mike Halac, better known as Mantaur.
A Heartfelt Journey
The Mighty Mantaur chronicles the rise and fall of Mike Halac’s career, highlighting the physical and mental toll of his journey. Co-written by Halac himself, the film delves deep into the man behind the mask, showcasing his struggles and triumphs as he fights for his life. Tragically, Halac passed away in July 2023, shortly after the film’s completion. However, he was able to see the final cut and expressed his love for the project to the filmmakers.
Director’s Insight
Director Faustus McGreeves shares his perspective on making the film:
“I had Mike Halac as an actor without any knowledge of his wrestling career. As we became friends, I realized that although I wasn’t a fan of wrestling, his stories were universally interesting, sparking the idea for this film. I discovered that his story was more than just an interesting bio; it was a call to action for audiences to understand the dangerous risks these athletes take with their lives, often without a safety net.”
Acclaimed Screenings and Awards
The Mighty Mantaur has been met with acclaim, with sold-out screenings in Omaha, NE (Mike’s hometown) and Los Angeles, CA. The film has been accepted into numerous film festivals, winning 10 awards to date.
Mark your calendars for June 28th, 2024, when The Mighty Mantaur will be available on digital platforms.
