Here’s our newest trailer for THE SMASHING MACHINE, written and directed by Silver Lion Best Director winner, Benny Safdie. Emily is phenomenal and extraordinarily heartbreaking in the film, and Benny’s infinite humanity created our safe place to touch very raw nerves. Excited for you all to see our film.In theaters October 3rd. @a24

We got very emotional because an incredible thing happened to a beautiful human being tonight 👏🏾 🙏🏾Congratulations Benny Safdie @bowedtie for winning the Silver Lion for Best Director at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival for directing, “The Smashing Machine” Benny’s singular and signature vision for “The Smashing Machine” was to create a real experience for the audience of radical empathy, through raw human vulnerability. We love you brother and congratulations, now come on home - you got big hugs (and tequila;) waiting for you ❤️🥃#bennysafdie #bestdirector #silverlion #venicefilmfestival #thesmashingmachine @a24

I feel like dreams are something we can contextualize. We imagine things and scenarios in our minds. This was far beyond my imagination and something my heart had a hard time comprehending. We were all deeply moved to our core. Benny, Emily, Mark, and myself. Thank you Venice Film Festival 🇮🇹❤️🙏🏾#smashingmachine

“Act like you’ve been there” 🤪Trying to stay cool and absorb every second of every moment. #venice 🇮🇹❤️

It’s not the chasing of the WIN that creates the greatness - it’s how you handle the PRESSURE TO WIN that ultimately matters most.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Dad 🕊️ My dad’s birthday was yesterday, and I thought about him. A lot. I had a good amount of “I wonder if….” thoughts about him and our relationship. He raised me with a tough and complex love. But at least I had love ya know? I know a lot men in my life, who never had their father’s love at all. Hard to reconcile stuff with your dad when he’s no longer here - but nonetheless, regardless of challenges or any struggle, my dad was a “life adapter”, and he taught me to be the same. Work hard and adapt. I’ll always be grateful for that lesson. Happy Birthday Soulman up there in heaven.You were never shy, so stop by and say hello every once in a while 😉🕊️💪🏾❤️

I was blessed to have this very special moment on stage with my mom, my daughters, and our aiga (family) — dancing our Samoan culture’s sacred dance, the Taualuga. It’s custom for Samoan men to take their shirts off to proudly show our Polynesian tatau (tattoo) and the intricate stories our ink tells. Also custom for Samoan women to lift their lava lavas up to proudly show their beautiful malu (tattoo) on their legs as well. I’m slapping the ground as a way to show my respect for how significant this is and how SACRED our ground becomes in this moment with our elders (and my daughters dancing next to me). It’s emotional. You can’t help but feel it. The mana. Life is busy for everyone - so special moments like this mean everything to me to honor my family, our culture and always so good coming back home to Hawaii. ❤️🥃 Shout to my fam, love you guys and let’s post up again soon! @maukawarriorsluau @tiana_nonosina @kay.faam @samoanstuntman

Our @tkogrp growth has been incredible for @ufc & @wwe. I’m grateful to play a very small role in this global growth but more importantly — I’m so excited for the opportunities this creates for all the MMA fighters, pro wrestlers to entertain combat FANS around the world. Congratulations to my guys, Dana White, Ari Emmanuel, Mark Shapiro, Nick Khan and Paul Levesque 🫱🏾‍🫲🏼Raising the bar. Live sports.#tko #ufc #wwe

I made a new friend who joined me for my morning meditation 🌞🧘‍♂️🦉 and strangely reminded me of an old friend too.

Its been a beautiful Nappy Summer 🥂 We were all honored to celebrate Uncle Nappy’s 90TH BIRTHDAY (he looks AMAZING btw) this summer with so much love and aloha on the island of Maui with all ohana and friends ❤️ 🌊🌴 I’ve become very close with Uncle Nappy and I’ve cherished every moment we’ve spent together and every day we just sit for hours and “talk story”. As you guys may know, I’m writing a book on Nappy’s EXTRAORDINARY LIFE (along with my writing partner Nick Bilton, who’s also become close with Nappy). Very exciting project that we hold close to our hearts. And next year we’ll start production on a film based on Nappy’s life. An epic saga about the underworld’s most respected boss, Nappy Pulawa. I’ll have the honor of transforming into Nappy. Directed by Martin Scorsese. Happy Birthday Uncle and thank you for continuing to teach me so much, including the all important E Ho’omanawanui — the quality of patience and endurance. Love you uncle and see you soon ❤️🥃#nappypulawa #hawaii #polynesianblood #warriorspirit #thecompany

Great to welcome Mike Repole to our @UFL ownership group. Mike’s a force of nature who knows how to build big, disruptive brands with tenacity and grit - a few traits I’ve been familiar with a time or two. My goal is to help build a spring football league that creates amazing opportunities for hard working players to make something of themselves, and to be able to take care of their families financially.As a player, which I once was - that’s always been the athlete’s dream. Looking forward to working with Mike in the UFL and some other adventures down the road. And a huge thanks to everyone - fans, media etc for all your support. #UFL
