INSIDE DISTANCE 🥊🎬 coming soon…
A month of living, breathing, and dreaming boxing.
The film wrapped, but the obsession with the sport stayed.
None of this would’ve been possible without stunt coordinator @emikojaneishii and my trainer on and off camera @estherreeva .
A powerhouse female-led team:
Writer/ director @yvonne_themoon
DOP @nj_film_dop
Producer @michi_111111
Casting by @emily_qiuu
Special thanks to our incredible AD @waitwaitwayne for keeping me hydrated between takes and making me feel like a real fighter.
So many talents in one room - from @yyyyyuanzheng ’s time-transcending set design, @jamesswartzlight ’s masterful manipulation of lighting, and @mmmiaomiaoo ’s bloody awesome makeup skill that transformed me (a soft girly) into a fierce, tough boxer, to many more who made this world come alive.
