There have been 14 commercial plane crashes in the history of aviation where only one, single, lone human being emerged from the wreckage. Director Ky Dickens has hunted them down for this film.nnOne survivor went through his ordeal as a teenager, basked for a while in the limelight of his 15 minutes of fame and lived off the adrenaline of the experience, until slowly fizzling into depression and a search for meaning, which translated into a search for other sole survivors like him. Another character in the film was a child when she survived the plane crash that killed her parents and young brother, and she was raised completely out of the public eye by family members, showing her face to no public camera before Dickens interviewed her. Another sole survivor profiled was the co-pilot of a plane he wish he died in: sharing such brutal details about the guilt felt from not going down with his ship, and the frustration felt by the pilot’s wife when she learns that the NTSB attributes the crash to pilot error, even when other professionals disagree with the verdict.nnAbout Foundation ContentnWith offices in Culver City (CA) and Chicago, Foundation Content was founded by Samantha Hart and James Lepitsky in Chicago in 2004 as an “Indie Advertising Collective” that specializes in the conception, production and delivery of compelling advertising and marketing campaigns for a diverse group of clients. nIn conjunction with its creative partners, the Foundation Content team focuses on collaboration and efficient execution, helping brands find new and innovative ways by which to get their message across to their target audiences.
