In the corner,
before the bell.

The minute before the fight.

Boxing Athletics needed a film that wasn't a highlight reel. They had no shortage of fight footage. What they didn't have was anything that captured the part fans never see — the corner work, the warmups, the long quiet that comes before the noise.

We shot at 5am for six mornings, single Aputure, single camera. The story was the room. The athletes carried the rest.

The cut runs ninety seconds. It's been used as a recruitment piece, a sponsor reel, and the opening of every event since.

The crew.
