Fly trailer brings the exhilarating world of BASE jumping to the big screen
In Fly, directors Shaul Schwarz and Christina Clusiau (Shaun White: The Last Run, Immigration Nation, the Emmy Award-winning Trophy) immerse viewers into the adrenaline-fueled yet perilous world of BASE jumping. Equally heartfelt and hair-raising, Fly offers truly awesome big-screen viewing, inviting audiences to take the leap into a visceral experience that celebrates living your life and following your dreams through the beauty of human flight. While the risk of injury and death are a part of the life BASE jumpers have chosen, Fly shows the passion for living that guides three couples whose love stories are unique and extraordinary. In getting to know them, audiences are introduced to the tight-knit community of BASE jumpers, athlete adventurers bound by their shared love for each other and the exhilaration of defying gravity.
Directors Shaul Schwarz and Christina Clusiau share their vision: “For the past seven years, we have been documenting the lives of BASE jumpers. Our films, much like our approach, seek to raise questions rather than provide answers. Who are these individuals, and what drives them to risk their lives for a passion, knowing it could possibly kill them? Standing on the edge of a cliff and leaping into the void requires a willingness to sacrifice everything—be it the love of your life or the life you love.”
