Alex is a 16 year old boxer. He swings hard and can take a punch. But the one blow he doesn’t see coming is from Burkitts Lymphoma…the Tiger of all cancers.

Alex just wants to live his life, date his new love, Noemie, and spend time with his eccentric family and his best friend. But he also wants to be a champion.

Now he must face the one thing that will challenge all his dreams.

The Tiger’s Boxer is a social human comedy with faith and solidarity.

May Leung, our producer and VFX supervisor, has finalized the look of TIGER. The Tiger’s Boxer is named after Burkitt’s lymphoma, known as the tiger’s disease for how quickly it takes over your body. TIGER is a 2D/3D hallucination that represents Alex’s cancer. Only Alex can see TIGER, as they battle throughout the film for Alex’s survival. May has previously been the VFX supervisor for “Bohemian Rhapsody” and the effects supervisor for “Inception” and “The Dark Knight Rises,” among other blockbuster films. Attached is a glimpse of the Tiger’s look.

Jane Schinasi, Writer/Director. I have directed 12 documentaries and the 18-minute awarded short “The Tiger’s Boxer,” which David fell in love with to help this amazing journey. In addition to my film work, I am deeply committed to the cause of helping children with cancer through my French non-profit organization, HUG BACK (https://www.hugback.fr/Hugback/). HUG BACK teaches boxing and meditation to teenagers and children with cancer in two French hospitals, offering them strength and resilience in their fight. This initiative has garnered the support of professional boxers such as John Dovi. My dedication to this cause aligns perfectly with the message of “Tiger’s Boxer,” further enriching the film’s mission and impact. We aim to expand our actions to hospitals in the US.

Buddha-Bar in Paris has offered to throw our premiere and party for our European release / There will also be a US premiere and party.

Located on the famous Champs-Élysées, Buddha-Bar is one of the most iconic venues in Paris, known for its exotic ambiance and opulent décor.
