What is Ringside

This is a short about a young boxer, and his struggle to overcome the pain/torment of his childhood trauma in the midst of finding success in the ring.

• My name is Victor Quintana, and I'm the writer and director of "Ringside." 
• Boxing was always an interest of mine growing up, and I'm looking forward to being able to share this story through a visual medium.
• Through this project, I want to bring light to the struggles that many people have experienced, and provide some encouragement, showing that they are not alone. My goal is to open up the space and create a dialogue about the importance of healing instead of suppressing our pain.
