\u201cOur story is telling yours.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This was the response given by Eriksen and Soren Dickens when asked to summarize their life story. As filmmakers, the Dickens brothers specialize in telling stories for businesses and personal brands through their media agency, Platinum Peek Productions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Their latest story captures the life of American swimmer, entrepreneur, and magician, Chuck Katis.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMagic in the Lane<\/i> is a documentary about a well rounded athlete with such a unique life. Well rounded people make for interesting stories. Chuck is about as well rounded as they come,\u201d says Eriksen Dickens. <\/span><\/p>\n

The brothers felt that Katis was the perfect subject for their documentary because he doesn\u2019t limit himself to one defining role. <\/span><\/p>\n

Katis is a competitive, world class swimmer, having swam at both Harvard and Cal Berkeley. He built his own patented, AI training robot called the \u201cBodBox\u201d of which he now sells worldwide.
