Joe Jennings, an innovator in the world of skydiving, has spent decades capturing breathtaking aerial moments with his camera for extreme sports competitions, Super Bowl commercials, and Hollywood blockbusters. Driven by a passion for "camera flying" in his youth, Joe cultivated a deep friendship with fellow skydiver Rob Harris, partnering to become one of the most influential sky-surfing teams in history. Though they were flying at the top of their game, tragedy struck, leaving Joe to navigate the skies alone. Never giving up, he continued to push the boundaries of aerial cinematography and skydiving, finding solace in the clouds while grappling with profound grief and depression. 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 reveals itself to be 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. SPACE COWBOY has a wealth of nail-biting boundary-breaking footage, but it is also a film about friendship and brotherhood and one man’s internal journey to overcome the obstacles of the human experience
