In pursuit of a dream, and inspired by a butterfly, an ambitious paraglider pilot attempts to fly across the United States, from Mexico to Canada, relying solely on the sun, wind and his own willpower.
Lyndsay and Benjamin met while each was volunteering time in Malawi, Africa. Both paraglider pilots, they begun hiking and flying together and filming each other, never once imagining the professional form this would eventually take on.
It was 2018, after Jordan's solo Endless Chain expedition, that he and Nicole set out to create additional B-roll material. Working together, they surprised themselves by both, producing a level of air-to-air shots never before seen in a paragliding adventure film and ultimately, falling in love.
Two years later, the two found themselves at the US/Mexico border about to execute (Benjamin) and document (Lyndsay) a world record and their greatest achievement to date, a documentary inspired by the migration of the great monarch butterfly, Fly Monarca.
