KELLY JACKSON is one of the producers on the award winning feature documentary More than MIyagi: The Pat Morita Story released on Feb. 5th 2021. Kelly and Oscar Alvarez, another producer on the documentary, first met each other when their daughters played on-screen daughters on the Diablo Cody ABC pilot “Raised by Wolves”. Their families have remained very close and Kelly was thrilled to be asked to help produce the documentary. Growing up in Wisconsin, and having memories of watching “Happy Days” and The Karate Kid at a young age, she was honored to help bring Pat’s story to the world.
OSCAR ALVAREZ partnered with filmmaker Kevin Derek to produce the award-winning feature documentary film, Empty Hand: The Real Karate Kids, cited in Black Belt Magazine as “A MUST SEE...the first real Karate movie in years.” Most recently, Alvarez completed his and Derek’s latest feature documentary, More Than Miyagi: The Pat Morita Story starring Ralph Macchio, Martin Kove, Esai Morales, William Zabka, Tommy Chong, Efren Ramirez, Henry Winkler and James Hong, among others -- a “who’s who” of stars, including Morita’s Widow, Evelyn, came together to support the bio-doc about the beloved actor. It was released worldwide in February 2021 to massive critical acclaim and fan enthusiasm; it is rated 100% on both the TOMATOMETER→ and audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
