He just won the biggest fight of his career.
Stepping into the press conference after a career-defining victory, a boxer should be celebrating. But when he’s confronted with unexpected information, the meaning of everything that just happened begins to shift.
Suddenly forced to process something deeply personal in an intensely public moment, he must face a battle no amount of training could have prepared him for.
Press Conference is an intimate drama about triumph, perspective, and the private struggles that can exist behind our greatest public moments.
Written and directed by Alexander Hilli
Starring Ray Calleja, Yana Shevchenko, and Paul Maynard
