I think it’s a really beautiful story about two
                                                              pro  athletes,  trying  to  overcome  obstacles

                                                              in  their  journey  and  whether  or  not  their
                                                              experiences  will  allow  them  to  heal
                                                              together  or  not.  I’m  currently  in  Pre-

                                                              athletes  so  my  immersion  in  it  is  a  whole

                                                              boxer  has  been  the  most  grueling  process
                                                              I’ve  ever  experienced,  mentally  and
                                                              physically.  It’s  forcing  me  to  sharpen  my

                                                              to be in the film AND direct it! It’s changing

       Q:  What  advice  can  you  give  another              me for the better for sure and I think that I
       creative  person  who  is  new  to  building           will be a totally different person at the end
       their  brand  or  feeling  insecure  about             of it all. (In a good way!)
       putting themselves out there?



       My  advice  to  a  creative  person                    Support Katie by contributing to the
       building  their  brand  or  are  feeling               fundraiser for her feature film.
       unsure  of  themselves  is:  DO  IT

       think of is that I don’t want to be at a
       place later in life having any regrets.                                     Boxer

       We  owe  it  to  ourselves  to  do  the

       Q: Tell us about your current project, how
       you're feeling about it in general, and how                 Twitter                   Vimeo

       My current project is my first feature

       projects  that  I  was  blocked  in  and
