Glass Chin is a 2014 American crime drama film written and directed by Noah Buschel, starring Corey Stoll, Billy Crudup, Marin Ireland, Yul Vazquez and Kelly Lynch. It premiered at the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival.
Bud Gordon, a burned-out former boxing champ, trains Kid Sunshine, an up-and-coming welterweight contender, and collects debts for JJ Cook, a slick Manhattan entrepreneur. Bud soon finds himself framed for murder, having to choose between his integrity and his aspirations.
Shortly after Corey Stoll finished filming the first season of House of Cards, Noah Buschel recruited him to play the lead role in Glass Chin. Stoll had previous boxing training from his portrayal of Ernest Hemingway in the 2011 film Midnight in Paris. He trained for three weeks at Gleason's Gym in Brooklyn, New York.Billy Crudup was given the script by Yul Vazquez, who had previously worked with Buschel.
Buschel categorizes the film "in the ex-boxer genre of Budd Schulberg's On The Waterfront, Jim Thompson's After Dark, My Sweet, and Walter Mosley's Leonid McGill books.” The film was shot all over New York City, including in Red Hook, Brooklyn, and in New Jersey, on a Red digital camera. It was Buschel's third film with cinematographer Ryan Samul.
