Hey Matt, thanks for talking with us. Pitcher 2 is the follow up to your video from 2015, for anyone that missed that, can you walk us through the concept of the Pitcher series?

Montreal has always had a big media scene, with D-Structure having a stacked team back in the day. Felix Rioux was always putting out amazing videos. Sadly there is no one left to promote our unique scene so I kind of stepped in and try to promote the scene with the @Montrealblading instagram account.

As for Pitcher 1, it kind of started off as a joke with Yanis and I just getting bored at his place and dumping a GoPro into a pitcher while we drank a 40 before a hockey game. People seemed to enjoy the concept of the level of beer in the pitcher decreasing as the video progressed and thats when I realized I could get away with doing a second one.

How long did you guys film for?

It varies. Guys like Daniel and Tomek got their respective clips done in 2-3 months, but for myself, Denis, and Vincent it took around 2 years to film it all.

The videos first profile opens with Yanis Khabet lacing up to play for the Algerian National Hockey Team. That’s got to be pretty cool to see a friend compete on an international level like that. Tell us about how you came to film the team?

Yanis is a talented hockey player, and its always a pleasure to see friends succeed. Yanis talked to his coaching staff and event organizers and got me a press pass for me to walk freely around the arena and in the locker room. I even got to hear the captain give his pre game pep talk!
