Director Statement

I love making documentaries on subjects I know nothing about. So when the producer of this film pitched me on boxing, influencers, heavy metal music and vampires, I was immediately onboard. I never thought I'd feel such an adrenaline rush filming ringside at a crossover boxing event, which had first seemed like a fad for fighters to grow their social media following. But at the end of the day, as Alaena's coach puts it, the fighters have to "train their ass off and go get punched in the mouth". It was a thrilling experience to follow Vampira and her team and I'm excited to share it with the world!
