Hiball Energy Premieres Epic Antarctic Doc on the World's First Adaptive Athlete

San Francisco-based production company Liars & Thieves announced today that the branded film, “The Push”, for Hiball Energy drinks is now available on Amazon Prime. The film has won 18 awards of distinction in the film Festival circuit since its 2018 premiere.

With over 500 hours of footage, Liars & Thieves worked with Hiball Energy to mark the journey of the world’s first adaptive athlete, Grant Korgan, to trek to the South Pole after enduring a devastating spinal cord injury in California’s Lake Tahoe region. You can watch the trailer for the film below. 

“Our mantra of ‘Good Energy’ spotlights Grant’s journey that positivity is fueled by applied propulsion,” said Todd Berardi, executive producer of The Push and founder of Hiball Energy. “We had done a series of short films called the 'Hiball profiles' but this story was both so important and on brand that we decided to make it into a feature length film. I could not be prouder of the execution by Hiball cinematographer, Brian Niles, and the impact and success so far of this amazing film.”

“For all the heroes represented in this film, it was an epic responsibility to tell a thoughtful and cohesive story,” said Josh Murphy, co-founder and director/producer at Liars & Thieves. “Our goal is to shine a light on the perseverance each of us are born with.”

Net profits from the film support the High Fives Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising injury prevention awareness while providing resources and inspiration to those who suffer life-altering injuries.
