Juxtaposition: Glass & Grit

Juxtaposition: Glass & Grit

A G

Juxtaposition: Glass & Grit follows two athletes built to endure, until the camera demands they bleed. Ash is a celebrated figure skater with a reputation for scandal and a life managed like property. Ethan is a boxer chasing legitimacy while hiding a neurological condition that could end everything. Cast into forced proximity for a prestige documentary, they become both subjects and spectacle, caught in contracts, betrayal, and carefully edited truth. As their private fractures surface, hostility shifts into protectiveness, and intimacy becomes the only place that feels real.
