further asking for help Carl Boenish archive

Hello friends, BASE jumpers, skydivers, filmmakers,
I have been diligently seeking your donations to my project Gravity.  If you have donated, thank you. We have raised over $4,000.  We will however only get that money if we reach the $10,000 goal. All or nothing! So we need your help.
We have one month to raise at least $6,000; can you help us out? Every bit helps and even if you are feeling broke the effort and the backing of any amount of money means something profound to me.
Please also forward this message to friends and please address the urgency of our need.

All My Best and a sincere thank you,
Marah

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.
