Sky Angels - OFFICIAL FILM (2024)

Produced by DZZY FILMS LLC for Central Coast Jet Center in 2023/2024.

Sky Angels is a celebration of human ingenuity and resilience. The 31-minute short documentary follows a group of dedicated aviators who respond to an emergency when a storm cuts off access to a remote ranch. With no road access, the couple on the ranch relies on the help of pilots Doug Coale, Neil Cushman, and helicopter owner Seth Hammond. Over five months, the pilots make multiple trips, using their aircraft to deliver food, water, diesel, and other essential supplies. The documentary-style film showcases aviation's vital role in rural communities during crises, emphasizing the teamwork and compassion that bring people together in times of need.
