Haunted for thirty years by a dream of a female friend’s death eight years before she died in a skydiving accident, Filmmaker Paul Gorman hopes to unlock the mystery of his dream by making a film about her. Gorman’s memoir tells the remarkable story about the making of his 2014 award winning documentary film, "Ride The Sky". Gorman retraces pioneering skydiver Joan Carson’s nomadic life from the time of her death in 1981 back to her childhood. His journey uncovers a cult-like band of skydivers addicted to the "adrenaline rush" of living on the edge and jumping out of airplanes at their homemade airport in the wilderness. And the queen of this colony is former cheerleader Joan Carson. Continuing his quest, Gorman discovers the meaning of his dream locked away in a painful secret from Carson's past. In the end, this past reconnects with the present in a most surprising and emotional way. Gorman's book shows that there is truth in art in this powerful story of heartache, the frustrations of making a film, and ultimately triumph.
