Skydiving cinematography pioneer Joe Jennings built a career capturing surreal, unbelievable images while plummeting mid-air. Now, at 62, he pushes his art to new extremes with one of his most daring stunts yet: the “flying car.” From extreme sports competitions to Super Bowl commercials and Hollywood blockbusters, Jennings opens up about his craft, his friendship with creative partner Rob Harris, and the shattering tragedy that changed the trajectory of his life. Directors Bryce Leavitt and Marah Strauch weave jaw-dropping archival footage with revelatory and touching interviews to uncover the challenge of balancing a life in the sky with the realities on the ground.
