SPACE COWBOY focuses on Joe Jennings, a pioneer of skydiving cinematography, as he looks back on creating iconic moments in film and television, while he tries to turn a dreamlike vision into reality. An innovator in the world of skydiving, Joe spent decades capturing breathtaking aerial moments with his camera for extreme sports competitions, Super Bowl commercials, and Hollywood blockbusters. Now, at 62, this pioneering skydiver is taking on a new challenge, elevating his art with a daring “flying car” stunt. Through stunning archival footage, revealing interviews, and dramatic verité, SPACE COWBOY uncovers a deeper emotional journey as Joe navigates loss, depression, and the challenge of balancing a life in the sky with the realities on the ground.
