“Cha Cha Charlie” by Matt Bieler

Inspired by the birth of his son to become a professional wrestler in his 30s. Cha Cha Charlie is a short-form documentary about fatherhood, passion, inspiration, and the drive to pursue a dream, no matter what age or the pain it inflicts on your body.

Director Statement:

“I met Cha Cha on a commercial shoot years back and found his life fascinating; when he welcomed our lens into his world, we discovered a story and life truly inspiring. Inspired by the birth of his son to become a professional wrestler in his 30s, Cha Cha Charlie is a short-form documentary about fatherhood, passion, and the drive to pursue a dream, no matter what the age or the pain it inflicts on your body.”
