The unbelievable but mostly true story of four young men who mistake their lives for a movie and attempt one of the most audacious art heists in US history. <br /> Taking the thrill of the heist genre and turning it inside out, this film blurs the line between truth and fiction in a wild story of money, movies and the search for meaning. <br /> Official Selection Sundance Film Festival 2018 - US Dramatic Competition - World premiere

A landmark feature documentary about astronaut Eileen Collins, the first woman to pilot and command the Space Shuttle.<br /> Eileen’s incredible journey starts with her smalltown beginnings, sees her smash through many glass ceilings, and culminates in four dramatic space shuttle missions, the last being possibly the most dangerous and most important of them all.<br /> At its heart the film is the moving human drama of one family, where a mother’s extraordinary career takes us straight to the big philosophical question of what is the level of acceptable risk in human endeavour? <br /> This film celebrates Commander Collins’ trailblazing NASA career which opened the way for women to become spacecraft pilots and commanders, and proved a perfect riposte to a previous generation of male astronauts who thought there was no place for women to lead the way in space. <br /> Official Selection DOC NYC 2024 - World premiere<br /> Official Selection CPH:DOX 2025 - European premiere
