Thanks to your support we’re already 30% funded on Kickstarter.

This film isn’t about the headlines. It’s about the human story behind that night and the wider conversation around mental health.

There’s still a long way to go, but every pledge helps us bring this documentary to life.

‘If we can help just one person, it will be a success in our eyes.’

A message from the director of Sky King, our upcoming documentary about the tragic yet remarkable true story of Richard “Beebo” Russell – made in support of @TWLOHA.

For me, it’s the moment when Beebo says over the radio, “I’m just a broken guy… got a few screws loose, I guess.” It’s such a raw and human moment that reminds us how many struggles people carry quietly. The film aims to explore that humanity and the wider conversation around mental health. If people want to help share that story, simply spreading the word or supporting the Kickstarter makes a huge difference.

It's a story that captured the world's attention. Now we're telling a different side to it.

"I wasn't really planning on landing it"

Through the original air traffic control recordings, we hear Beebo as he was in that moment. Calm, reflective, and deeply human. Sky King seeks to understand the person behind the headline, with compassion and a focus on mental health.
