SPACE COWBOY

NYC PREMIERE Legendary aerial cinematographer Joe Jennings has spent decades soaring through the skies. A thrill-seeker since childhood, Jennings fell in love with skydiving, and parlayed his penchant for risk-taking into a career shooting mind-blowing visuals for commercials, television, and Hollywood blockbusters. Though he has lost multiple compatriots to the dangers of the work, Jennings, now in his 60s, remains undeterred as he attempts to film an open-top convertible, filled with passengers, as it tumbles through the air. – Brandon Harrison
