CLIP FROM SPACE COWBOY
If you were to find entire dinette sets, automobiles, and living rooms — with people sitting in them — tumbling Earthward from the clouds, you might think, 'Okay, so End Times really are a thing.” But it could also be the handiwork of “Space Cowboy” subject Joe Jennings, a “freefall cinematographer” who’s made a specialty of devising and filming such surreal stunts. Coming a decade after Marah Strauch’s first feature “Sunshine Superman,” about BASE jumping pioneer Carl Boenish (also an aerial cameraman), this new doc provides a thematically and stylistically overlapping companion piece."
