GETTING THERE dollar by dollar
We have about 6,900.00 raise only around 3000 to go!!! It’s all or nothing. Thank you everyone who has donated and spread the word and continues to support what we are doing.
I had a lot of hesitation opening up this project to the world publicly. I am super glad people, especially in the BASE jumping, skydiving community have so receptive. It’s exciting! It gives me energy to work!!!
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.
