This has to be the most challenging and demanding project I’ve shot to date. Over the course of a year, we shot single-camera across seven different countries, revisiting many of them multiple times, with around 75 shoot days in total—moving between intimate home visits with the players and documenting the Freestyle Chess tournament tour as a whole.
All the while I was still actively shooting commercials, which made for some pretty wild stretches—wrapping a commercial one day, jumping on a flight to Europe the next for two weeks, landing and immediately going into production.
It was an enormous undertaking, and I’m really proud of what we made.
So much went into bringing this project to life, and I’m incredibly grateful to the solid team of people who made it possible.
Excited to finally share it with everyone. Documentaries are truly labors of love. It takes a small yet mighty team to make them happen, often working 14–16 hour days, completely locked in, focused, present, and ready for every moment.

Playing in AMC theaters October 11th and 14th. Please check it out. Trailer and a few stills in post
