Cast

Production

Forrest Films announced their intent to film Born a Champion, then titled Mickey Kelley, in July 2019. Alex Ranarivelo was named as the director and actors Sean Patrick Flanery, Katrina Bowden, and Dennis Quaid were also announced as some of the film's central characters. Flanery also served as one of the film's producers and co-wrote the script alongside Ranarivelo.[3] Flanery called the film a "love letter to BJJ" in the film's credits, as a result of "what it’s done for me; how it’s changed me; what it’s done for my perspective on life, love and happiness and family."[4]

Filming took place in Petaluma, California during the summer of 2019 and wrapped in August of the same year.[5][6]

Release

The film received a limited release in select theaters in the United States on January 22, 2021 and became available via video on demand the same day.[7] It was released on Blu-ray and DVD on January 26, 2021.[8][9]
