Tristar stories in 4k (fight network)
Jan 2016 - Jan 2017Creator / producerEnter Montreal’s Tristar Gym and see Canada’s storied fighting camp as you’ve never seen it before in this 12-part original digital series presented in 4K. With unprecedented access and intimacy, step into the notorious fighter “dorms" and delve inside the heads and lives of Tristar’s world-class roster, as well as renowned owner and head coach Firas Zahabi.We documented the varied and untold stories of the MMA fighters at Tristar Gym, from hungry, underexposed up-and-comers to famed megastars like George St-Pierre, with a nuanced, human touch unlike the typical testosterone-charged UFC video feature. We even created a unique 360° video to allow viewers from around the world to set foot in the gym themselves. The project was a huge success, accumulating 1.5 million views and driving more than 10,000 new subscribers to the Fight Network YouTube channel. Show less

So... is it all worth it?Living The Stream premiered in March 2019 in front of a live Twitch audience of more than 5,000 users, and is currently under license to Amazon Prime Video, streaming in 60+ countries.
