I RISKED it all in 10 days (and THIS set me free!)

What if the one dream you’ve always wanted felt impossible—too risky, too expensive, and so terrifying it stopped you from even trying? Chasing Dreams is a short adventure film that invites you to experience Zach Hooley’s heartfelt journey of resilience and freedom as he takes to the skies with a backpack propeller and his feet dangling in the air.

In just 10 days, Zach sets out to defy the odds, conquer his fears, and pursue his lifelong dream of flying solo and camping in the backcountry under the stars. Watch now to feel the thrill and inspiration of his first solo flight as a paramotor pilot.
