news and heart felt appreciation
I have some very exciting news that I will be able to announce next week. It involves the LA film festival. I am super exited.
The kickstater is plugging along. It has felt so good to open the project to everybody. I can’t believe the kindness and support I have been receiving. I couldn’t be luckier then to be making a film that involves such an amazing community of people!
About
Gravity is a non-fiction feature that captures what it feels like to jump off a building, cliff or bridge and walk away alive. It is about the essence of life, of freedom, of what it feels like, for a moment, to defy gravity, and to fly.
In the early eighties Carl Boenish coined the acronym “BASE” (standing for Buildings, Antenna, Span, and Earth, the objects jumped) and invented a sport. Carl was the catalyst behind modern BASE jumping; an electrical engineer and filmmaker who believed that BASE jumping would allow mankind to overcome artificial limitations. He religiously chronicled the early days of BASE in beautiful 16mm film, often with cameras mounted to the jumpers’ heads. He saw BASE as the next amazing thing to film. Subscribe via RSS.
