Inside the Making of Night Fight - A Groundbreaking SXSW Film! - A Discussion with Filmmaker Khary Jones

Khary Jones drove alone down the quiet roads of a Canadian resort town, the predawn darkness folding in around him. The stillness shatters—headlights appear in his rearview mirror, growing closer, tracking him with quiet menace.

For twenty minutes, he is pursued by a vigilante, the night stretching longer than time itself. Seven years later, he returns, not to seek revenge or even understanding, but to confront what remains of himself in the wake of that encounter.

NIGHT FIGHT is a film that should be seen by everyone and we need absorb the story and history that Khary is trying to convey here. Racism is prevalent in every nation on Earth. Is there a solution? We have to work much harder and truly become a people who respect each other and stop judging by outward appearances alone.

Award-winning director and film editor Khary Saeed Jones, his newest film, the SXSW-selected NIGHT FIGHT is a work of aching introspection, memory, and the relentless weight of history.

This haunting cinematic journey—part memoir, part meditation, part reckoning—examines the violent interruptions that fracture Black life and the silent battles waged long after the danger has passed.
