‏Jay Bulger‏

Bulger attended Fordham University in the Bronx, where he boxed in several New York Golden Glove tournaments. Photographs of his fighting launched him onto the cover of Vogue and then modeling for brands such as Armani, Calvin Klein, Dolce & Gabbana, Kenneth Cole, and Hermès.

After a 2-year bout with cancer, Bulger dedicated himself to writing and directing. He published cover stories and feature articles for Rolling Stone, New York, and GQ. He has directed music videos and commercials for bands such as the Hold Steady, Nightmare of You, Permanent Me, and Playradioplay; and brands such as Pepsi and Disney.

Bulger's first feature length documentary, Beware of Mr. Baker premiered at the 2012 South by Southwest Film Festival and won the Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary.

In 2017, Bulger directed Counterpunch. The Netflix documentary encompassed Bulger's three years inside the world of boxing in the USA.
