Vision Films Launches 'Wingman' Documentary
Vision Films, Inc. has officially announced the upcoming release of its exciting documentary film,
Wingman, scheduled for North American transactional VOD on
April 15, 2025. This much-anticipated film will also launch in the UK on the same day, thanks to a distribution agreement with
Fantastic Films International.
Wingman is directed by
Dylan H. Brown, marking his debut as a filmmaker and eco-entrepreneur. The film chronicles the audacious journey of
Peter Thompson, a competitive paraglider, as he embarks on a remarkable quest to be the first person to paraglide across the vast expanse of
Colorado. This film captures the true essence of adventure sports, showcasing breathtaking vistas and the sheer determination of those who embrace extreme challenges.
Experience the Extreme
In
Wingman, viewers are treated to stunning visuals from thousands of feet in the air, as Peter navigates through treacherous weather conditions while camping and seeking out launch points. The documentary reveals the exhilarating yet dangerous world of
'bol viv', a blend of flying and camping that pushes the limits of endurance and skill. Viewers will accompany Peter as he tackles formidable obstacles, documenting each beat of this high-stakes adventure.
Dylan Brown exclaimed, "When Peter approached me about documenting this incredible feat, I knew it was an opportunity I couldn't pass on. To capture a journey that combines skill, courage, and the sheer will to conquer nature is something extraordinary. The challenge is immense, but so is the reward."
As the film unfolds, audiences will travel alongside Peter as he overcomes the odds—risking his safety to achieve a goal that many would deem impossible. With every soaring scene, viewers will fly through
Colorado's majestic mountain ranges, making for an unforgettable cinematic experience.
An Adventure Into the Unknown
Filmmaker Dylan Brown further emphasized the excitement of the project, stating, "Documenting Peter’s fierce ambition to fly across such a vast and unyielding landscape came with its fears. My main concern was that Peter's relentless drive could potentially lead to danger, given the unpredictable elements he faces in the wilderness."
Alongside Peter,
Wingman features thrilling appearances from notable names in the adventure sports community, including
Sammy Podhurst, Pine Pienaar, Zach Smith, Chris Tomer, and Will Gadd. This combination of talent ensures a dynamic and engaging look at what it truly means to chase an extreme challenge.
Wingman will be available across major US cable/satellite providers and online platforms such as
Amazon Instant, Apple TV, Google Play, and Vimeo, offering audiences multiple ways to witness this thrilling journey.
