Fight Night

Show Info

Written by Gavin Kostick
Directed by Bryan Burroughs 

With Aonghus Óg McAnally

Fight Night is a gripping journey charting the comeback of Dan Coyle Jr., a failed amateur boxer from a long line of accomplished fighters.

Existing in the shadows of an overbearing father and a brother's Olympic success, Dan's training slips in favor of girls and booze. Minutes before a crucial match, an accident exiles Dan from the ring, splintering the family apart.

Years later, after the birth of his own son, his competitive spirit is ignited, and he tentatively takes the first steps on the road to his redemption.
 
One Chance. One Shot. Fight Night. No Excuses.
