HOME BY SUNSET

Tedd is a private pilot based in Santa Monica, California.

When the conditions are right, he leaves before sunrise, flies to Mammoth Mountain for the day, spends the day snowboarding, and makes it home before sunset. What feels like an adventure to most is simply part of his routine.

Filmed at Santa Monica Airport, this short documentary follows Tedd through the quiet moments before takeoff as he prepares the aircraft, checks the weather, loads his gear, and gets ready for another day in the mountains.

More than a film about flying, it's a portrait of building a life around freedom, curiosity, and making the most of every day.
