Eight-time NBA All-Star Paul George is taking his talents off the court and into the entertainment industry. He is launching a TV and film production company, The Pack Productions alongside his sister Teiosha George, who will serve as executive producer.
The Pack Production’s first film, Amongst the Trees, is a basketball-themed documentary following an upstart men’s basketball program at Copper Mountain College in the Mojave Desert. The film will be co-directed and co-produced by Trent Urban and Jack Jensen.
“We wanted to start with a story that was close to home,” said George. “Joshua Tree is just 125 miles from where we grew up in Palmdale, but the hoops story that Trent and Jack tell is universal.”
Jensen added, “From the very beginning, between the CMC family and Joshua Tree itself, we felt this crazy, unique energy out in the desert that really drove us to this story. We’re honored they let us into their world to help showcase it and bring our style to the party.”
George is no stranger to success. He is a four-time All-NBA defense member, six-time All-NBA member, and 2012-13 ‘Most Improved’ award winner. He is currently averaging 22.6 points per game, 5.9 rebounds per game, and four assists per game in 23 games this season.
Paul George is not the only NBA player transitioning from the court to the TV and film industry. Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James and former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning are teaming up for an NBA-style docuseries following NBA players during the NBA season. Golden State Warriors guard Chris Paul also runs Ohh Dip Productions which includes a docuseries following the Florida A&M Rattlers football team.
The Pack Production’s first film, Amongst the Trees, is set to be released soon. It’s sure to be a hit, just like Paul George’s success on the court.
