As some of you may know, I’ve been commissioned to create a short documentary about Kai Greene's first appearance at the Olympia. I thought I might update you all on the progress and post a few stills from time to time. I'm very proud of the way this is turning out and can't wait for you all to see it!
To create this documentary I visited Kai in Brooklyn several times, spent three days with him and his trainer Oscar Arden in Las Vegas and spent this past weekend wrapping up the videotaping, doing interviews and shooting footage in the gym as Kai begins to warm up to prepare himself to take the Arnold Classic for the second time.
Although much of what went on in and around the Olympia is already known and interviews have been posted, I dug a little deeper. If you think you know Kai Greene this DVD may surprise you. This video will contain some intense workout footage but it will also reveal a little about Kai's spirituality and philosophy of life as well as some behind the scenes information, including a discussion of what
really "went wrong" at the Olympia.
It's probably going to take me at least a month or so to put this all together, and then it will be a matter of creating and duplicating the DVD so...stay tuned!
A few stills from my video footage...

Depleted and pushing through a tough workout.
