Etched In Pavement (2026)

In a remote corner of Detroit, where the streets echo with both hardship and hope, two young men turn fighting into a language of survival, purpose and community. Filmed over four years, Etched In Pavement follows Dwane Taylor and Michael Futrell whose weaving paths move through youth combat sports, professional boxing and their grassroots Guns Down, Gloves Up street-fighting movement. As they navigate fatherhood, loss, and those who came before, the film becomes an intimate portrait of generations caught between violence and purpose, survival and legacy.
