Tone

Most cinematic boxing stories take place on the East Coast – NYC, Philadelphia, New Jersey – but Uppercut brings the grit of boxing to the palm trees and sunny beaches of Los Angeles, where everyone loves to dream big but a select few love to put in the hard work. Uppercut brings a romanticized sensibility to this struggle, leaning heavy into family and the great joys of life well lived.
