Andscape has started production on Fair Play: The Jordan Chiles Story, a feature documentary by filmmaker Trishtan Williams, with a planned release on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ in fall 2027. The film arrives as the sport's attention turns toward the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. It promises close access to a gymnast at a turning point in her career.
Access to a Pivotal Moment
According to the project's announcement, the documentary is built around unprecedented access to Chiles, who is 25. It will follow her inside the gym and beyond it as she manages life in the spotlight. The film positions her as a voice for a new generation of athletes, with the focus on what she does with her public platform as much as on her results.
Chiles's competitive record provides the backdrop. She helped Team USA win silver at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and then helped lead the team to gold at the 2024 Paris Games. In 2022 she became one of three Black gymnasts to sweep the podium at the U.S. Championships.
Who Is Making It
The documentary is a collaboration between Andscape, Campfire Studios and Select Entertainment. Ross M. Dinerstein and Allyson Holloway are producing for Campfire Studios, and Anne Hazlett is executive producing for Campfire. Lisa Filipelli, Amy Neben and Alexia Maitland are executive producing for Select Entertainment.
Williams previously directed the first two seasons of Netflix's Starting 5, along with Life in the W for ESPN and Why Not Us: Howard Golf, the last of which lists Stephen Curry as an executive producer. His television credits also include Love Is Blind, America's Next Top Model and The Amazing Race.
Beyond the Medals
Chiles has built a profile well beyond gymnastics. She is the author of the memoir I'm That Girl, finished third on last year's Dancing With the Stars, and has worked as an advocate for mental health and body positivity. Those threads suggest the film will address identity and public visibility alongside athletic achievement.
Chiles has said the project is a chance to reflect on the experiences that shaped her and to reclaim her own narrative. Williams has described the aim as exploring her joy, vulnerability, ambition and resilience. Andscape's Jason Aidoo has framed the film as a look at how an athlete defines herself beyond sport. The filmmakers' own descriptions of the project are promotional, so the finished work will be the real test of how far that access goes.
