How Far

Boxing distills and illuminates the essence of an athlete. There's nowhere to hide. Boxers live and perform at the extremes.

How far will he go to defend it?

Truths

What I like and find liberating in dialogue comedy is that the characters, and what they say, are not me. These are fleeting thoughts and observations and not presented as truths but as something that illuminates the character and the dynamic between the characters. This kind of dialogue is thesis and antithesis - and we never get to a synthesis.

- Whit Stillman
