A one-hour documentary, shot on high definition video, about the dynamic
world of FreeFlight, produced in collaboration with 24fps Productions,
for the new Rush HD channel.
Today, some of the most cutting edge and dynamic flight occurs in aircrafts
that weigh less than 50 pounds. Free Flight maximizes the pilot’s
connection to the heavens by minimalizing the aircraft.
We explored the world of Free Flight by sending Andrea Hilderbrand,
a conventional pilot and aeronautical engineer, up in the air with top
unconventional pilots in two forms of Free Flight.
Andrea’s adventure saw her skimming the surf and swooping through
the miraculous cliffs of Hawaii in a powered ultralight. For good measure,
she also launched off the windswept peaks of the Colorado Rockies and
spiraled through snow-covered valleys in an unpowered paraglider that
was little more than a wing with strings.
Along the way Andrea experienced the most beautiful, intimate and thrilling
flights of her life.
The documentary was shot in Kauai, Hawaii and Aspen, Colorado.
