About the Film

Created over two and a half years, Love is a Championship brought together an international team of artists, actors, musicians, and filmmakers to tell a story about hope, perseverance, and finding your championship moment. Built through a hybrid 3D and 2D animation pipeline, the film reflects thousands of hours of human collaboration across story development, performance, animation, editing, and original music production.

Logline

In the new season of dating, Lucy goes on a series of hilarious and disastrous dates, each one more embarrassing than the last. Just when she's ready to throw in the towel, she meets someone who sparks hope that her championship moment may still be ahead.

Director Statement

In everyone's life, there's that one person we root for.

Maybe it's a friend. Maybe it's a sibling. Maybe it's someone we've loved. Like supporting a favorite sports team through years of ups and downs, we want to see that person succeed. We want to believe their championship moment is still ahead.

Love is a Championship explores that feeling through the lens of modern dating.

Lucy begins the film trapped in a losing season. Date after date ends in disappointment, frustration, and embarrassment. But beneath the comedy is something deeper: the universal hope that no matter how many losses we experience, our story isn't over yet.

As a filmmaker, that idea resonates deeply with me because so much of life and creativity requires perseverance. Every meaningful achievement I've experienced has involved setbacks, uncertainty, and continuing forward despite obstacles. In many ways, the film's central message extends far beyond sports or dating.

Love is a Championship represents the most ambitious project of my career to date. Following the festival success of Metro6, our team spent nearly a year in pre-production and more than two and a half years bringing this story to life. Artists, actors, musicians, and collaborators from around the world contributed their talents to create a film that is both personal and universal.

All of us have spent time chasing our own version of a championship, hoping that the next season might finally be the one where everything comes together.
