Money fight / the red canvas | Ken Chamitoff

Heroes fight with weapons forged in the heart. Starring Ernie Reyes Jr., Ving Rhames, John Savage, George Takei, and Maria Conchita Alonso. Johnny Sanchez (Ernie Reyes Jr.) is a street kid feeding his pride in prison "gladiator wars" promoted by his own warden, sending every dollar he wins to the love he left behind and the son he hasn't seen in five years. When the warden sponsors him into a professional MMA tournament, Johnny learns that talent isn't enough: to win, you need a reason, and that reason has to come from the heart. Money Fight (released internationally as The Red Canvas) was the first feature film shot and completed on the Red One 4K camera, and the first film to premiere off-planet, screened for the crew aboard the International Space Station. It now streams on Indie Frame Network, the platform I founded to pay filmmakers fairly. IndieFrameNetwork.com
