'Seeing Double'

Film

The Hype Republic team cut its teeth in action sports, and has an intimate knowledge of the industry, its personalities and the companies that drive it forward. Seeing Double showcases this perfectly: directed by Allan Hardy ACS, and co-produced by Hype Republic and Red Bull Media House, this 22-minute film takes you inside the life of the charismatic Daniel “Chucky” Sanders. Chucky lives two juxtaposing lives in pursuit of a career-defining goal of winning back-to-back Dakar crowns. On one hand he deals with the incredible intensity of racing through the world’s harshest environments for days on end, then enjoys a relaxed lifestyle based on the family’s apple farm in Victoria. Seeing Double delves into the mindset, discipline and resilience required to chase back-to-back Dakar crowns, while capturing intimate interviews with Chucky, his family, friends and mentors. You can watch this doco on Red Bull TV and SBS.

“Hype Republic are masters in crafting human stories, which is why we completely entrusted them to connect with Daniel and bring his life story to the big screen. From start to finish- project conception to final delivery - every step of the process was met with attention to detail, passion, creativity, empathy, diligence and professionalism. Not only is the final product something we are so proud of, but our team also enjoyed the entire production process with the crew, because on top of everything else, it was genuinely fun.”
