During this morning’s press conference at Montreal’s Bell Centre, MMA superstar Georges St-Pierre says he’s finally satisfied. And that’s why he’s retiring because throughout his career he hasn’t been satisfied. And this dissatisfaction has been his main motivator. Now he says he does not have the same hunger anymore.

“It takes a lot of discipline to retire on top. I wanted to retire on my own and not be told to retire or be taken out by an opponent. In full contact sports you should retire on top. And I’m happy to have the wisdom to do so,” he says.

Georges shared his proudest moment. Oddly enough, it’s not a particular victory. Or a particular knockout. “For me it’s when I got dropped by a Carlos Condit kick and I stood up again. I showed I had the guts to overcome an obstacle,” he says.

He names Wayne Gretzky as one of his greatest inspirations. “Everything starts with a dream,” he said. And his was to be the best.

Here’s a gig we did with GSP during a break from fighting and training six years ago. It’s a little comedy starring the MMA icon with Quebec’s Patrick Boivin directing. True to himself, his fee went to the Georges St-Pierre Foundation. All our best GSP!

Oscar-nominated Tiny Inventions, made up of the duo of Ru Kuwahata and Max Porter, are fresh off the TorinoFilmLab, a 9-month feature scriptwriting fellowship. The first draft of the script is also part of Sundance Script Lab 2019.

The script in question is a coming of age story exploring the media, Japanese culture, fantasy worlds we build for ourselves and the loss of innocence.

Tiny inventions was nominated for the 2018 Oscars for best animated short, Negative Space, based on a poem by Ron Koertge.

See the BTS for another one of their shorts, SOMETHING LEFT SOMETHING,TAKEN, to see their workflow on how they build, photograph, animate, composite and color correct for their projects. The film is well worth the ten-minute chill time.

This is Unbox in his new studio unboxing the 77-inch Wallpaper TV. It’s unbelievable.

But as one Youtube comment pointed out: From unboxing on a dining room table…to this. That’s what’s unbelievable. 13 million subscribers-strong and showing no signs of slowing down. The dude is a machine.

Very happy to be collaborating with the Unbox team. Congrats! The new studio looks great.
