Director
A short documentary done as a part of the One Day Doc competition of The Art of Documentary, and filmed entirely at the VPunch Gym in Pigalle, Paris.
Fight Night explores the grit, determination, and absolute resolve it takes to have the courage to step into the ring.
Voiced by Nasser Laouli, the head coach and his meditations on what goes on in the head of a competitor, this film is an homage to competitors of combat sports, our modern day gladiators.
We follow the rivalry of the loudmouth Carl, and the stoic Lucio, and see how each of them deal with intense pressure of the combat and the gaze of the audience.
It's a lonely sport, and you see the hearts racing faster as the clock ticks forth, but when the bell rings, there's one winner, and one learner.
