Director Biography - Nikita Tipaykin

Born in 1992, completed 11 classes of high school. In 2012, I am studied for 1 year out of 3 at the College of Culture on the course of theatrical creativity. Dropped out of college due to life circumstances. So I worked as a salesman, car wash, designer, photographer, bartender and nurse. Now I works at radio Energy Blagoveschensk as a radio host. The short film Doppelgänger is my first film work.

Director Statement

Doppelgänger is my first project in which I put all my passion and desire to make quality cinema. I assembled an excellent team of enthusiasts who, despite the difficulties with time and a tiny budget, were able to meet the deadline and, in my opinion, make an interesting story that will not leave indifferent viewers who love science fiction and thrillers. This is essentially modern mysticism, in which mysterious events are due to technological progress. I hope you will enjoy.
