ABOUT THIS PROJECT

This project was shot in Savannah, GA in February 2024. We shot a portion of this project on 16mm film, a portion of this project on an XR volume stage, and shot for a total of 6 days and 6 locations. 

​

The Director of Photography on this project, Charles Hoy, was also the Executive Producer which informed a very visual approach to making this film. We wanted to create a boxing film that contradicted the stereotypical look and feel of a boxing film; through this, we may be able to contradict some of the ideas of masculinity that those films promote.
