The Lonely Bliss of the Cannonball Luke

A human cannonball named Luke returns home to a small town in Pennsylvania to launch himself back into the lives of his ex-flame Hannah and her daughter Elise. Culminating in a jaw-dropping finale, the film is a bittersweet ode to a man who's only grounded when he's in the sky. Featuring stunt work by world-record-holding human cannonball David Smith Sr. (11 min)
