Perez Bros tackle homophobia in sport with new short film, The Weigh In (2014).
Following the introduction of the new gay propoganda laws against LGBT people in Russia and just in time to highlight discrimination at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, the Perez Bros have released a new short film entitled, The Weigh In (2014).
Inspired by their film production work with Showtime Sports and the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), the Perez Bros have created a film that shatters stereotypes and brings a new meaning to concept of ‘contact sports.’
The Perez Bros are award-winning directors living and working in the San Francisco Bay Area. They are best known for their work as co-directors on music videos and short narratives. Their films have been featured on ESPN and have played throughout the international festival circuit. Their style has often been described as comedic, surreal, and always creative.
