Ever dream of knocking out your boss? Just imagine.. “In the red corner, your boss.. In the blue corner, a towering professional boxer” Here is your chance… well sort of. Because our boss has decided to throw her hat into the ring… If 100 people donate $100 …one of the co-directors of the documentary will get into the ring with a boxer from the film. Here is your opportunity to give the inspiring community of West Philadelphia a voice and knock the voice out of our boss.
For the past year and a half, our team has been working on “Whatever Happened to Tyrell Biggs?” and we learned that this is so much more than a sport biopic about the first ever US Super Heavyweight Gold Medalist who fell on hard times. It’s a story that has the potential to engage and inspire people of all ages and from all walks of life.
We learned what boxing and independent filmmaking have in common – besides taking a lot of hard knocks – to succeed it requires a major commitment by an entire community. West Philadelphia and the Shepard Recreation Center are bursting with stories but an unfortunate lack of resources to tell their own tale.
This is such an important project – not just for those of us who have dedicated ourselves to it, but for the many lives that can be helped by this incredible story.
Help KO our boss and become a part of making a film.
Take 5 minutes this weekend to join #TeamBiggs by donating what you can and forwarding this email to your friends who wish they could KO their boss. The campaign ends on the morning of November 25th. Please start hitting the forward button now.
