Jesszilla is an award winning feature documentary

Jesselyn “JessZilla” Silva is a 3x national boxing champion with her sights set on being the best in the sport. Her father, Pedro, navigates what it means to support his daughter’s dreams in an extremely dangerous sport. As Jesselyn is on the cusp of making the Olympic team, an unthinkable diagnosis redefines what it means to fight.

JessZilla is a coming-of-age story about what it means to be a champion.

Notable screenings include IDFA, DOC NYC, Atlanta, Big Sky, and more.

We are currently working with our Executive Producer team at Versus to find a home for JessZilla on a network/streaming services. For inquiries, contact producer Ben Kainz.
