CHASING ROLLS: JOZEF CHEN

"I WROTE MY MOM A NICE LETTER TELLING HER WHY I'M DROPPING OUT OF SCHOOL."

Jozef Chen is a generational athlete and talent. How did he get so good so young?

Chasing Rolls is an intimate peek into the world of Jozef Chen at five different stages in five different cities as he prepares to compete in the world grappling championships (ADCC).

I spent the time trying to understand how did a kid from China, using mostly video piracy and passion, not training at a major gym, and not from a wealthy family, develop the skills to become one of the youngest champions at a largely Western sport, Brazilian Jiujistu?

This is a candid intimate look at Jozef's lifestyle - just me and my one camera, following across training camps in Bali, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Berlin, The Netherlands, back home to Shanghai, and lastly to his competition in Las Vegas.
