Anybody want to jump out of a Huey helicopter in Atlanta?

Recommended Posts

Next Tuesday is the opening shoot for my Vietnam War film, Point Man (you can read the thread about it here.) We're renting a Huey helicopter in south Atlanta for a couple of key shots - we'll have it landing and unloading a bunch of fully-outfitted GIs into the LZ.

Until I hear back from a couple of investors, we're pretty underfunded, so I'm hoping to attract a few people who would be interested in jumping out of the chopper in the movie in full gear, with IMDb and rolling credits. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity. If you are interested, we're raffling off a chance to get in on that scene - any support pitched behind the campaign this week gets turned into raffle tickets. I'll draw them Saturday - winner comes down to Atlanta with us to jump out of the chopper, featured below. I'll cover your meal on the day.

Thanks to anyone who's interested - you won't find a cooler raffle prize, probably ever, and every dime goes towards getting the film made.

Now stop reading and go get raffle tickets.

Hey Philly.  I went to North Georgia College (about an hour north of Atlanta).  Point i'm making is that it is a military school.  If you are looking for bodies then I may have some contacts for you with actual experience.  If you are interested I can hook you up with some contacts.

I never liked doing it before why would I want to now?

Seriously though Philly this is a great idea and whoever gets to do it will probably have a blast. If you needed a pilot instead of a paratrooper I'd do it. Curious though: is this an anti-Vietnam war film?

do you fly?

i wouldn't call it pro or anti anything, honestly. politicized vietnam films have already been done. of course any treatment of the war in cinema is going to be politicized automatically because the war itself is still such a touchy topic in the collective american psyche, but i'm more or less trying to take the anti-hollywood approach in establishing a film that's historically accurate and honors sacrifice while not glossing over the unsavory parts of the conflict.

Aeroplanes but have flown helicopters. Couldn't step in and fly one safely right now but to fly a Huey in a movie I'd start up training. Too bad I'm nowhere near where you are.

    • It's really only been 2 games. The NO team was so bad their coach was fired after the game and Chuba and the defense carried the team to the win against NY. He's played better but I'm not willing to crown him QB god yet. I want to see more than 2 games or even the rest of the season. I want a full 3rd season with the occasional clunker because it happens to every QB, even the great ones. I just need more than what we've seen to this point. 
    • So you proceed to let me have it since I’m asking for it lmfao by saying we’re not talking about a random if….what in your head doesn’t click If statements are not realistic. If statements allow me to say anything and make it sound logical. “If” statements in this forum allow anyone without real statistical evidence or factual proof say anything will or can happen so speak directly to facts without these goofy azz if statements or accept all “if” statements. And to respond to your nonsense he had weapons he had protection. He had a rookie WR playing his first NFL game with Mingo and DJ as his other primary targets. How have either preformed since being traded let’s go deeper into that he had weapons. His top targets(week one) XL 7 targets DJ 6 targets Mingo 5 targets now the rookie has has about 8-9 games before Bryce’s return and we’ve seen XL develop some since the start of the season. And those other TOP weapons have a combined 3 catches in a combined 9 games since being traded. 5 for DJ 4 for Mingo these are the top targets your refer to as who he should have been shining with. Is it all on Bryce or these WRs being actual liabilities and not good players does that matter to you or should Bryce be able to elevate them? Do you really know football or is this my 12 yr old nephew spewing a childish mindset and asking us to accept it as serious football talk.  I’ve just seen the post from @Icege It’s sad after being shown actual facts you don’t know what you should be eating crow about buddy grow tf up. It’s ok to be wrong it doesn’t make you a bad guy you’re just wrong about Bryce . You said quote “Bryce can’t throw down field” do you still feel that way? You said a lot of nonsense that has now been proven wrong but we need to keep waiting right ok kool. I can agree with that we need more much more good play before we fully commit for next season, but to act like the progression being shown isn’t impressive as sht. We’re seeing Bryce play good while waiting on more consistency to crown em but you gotta get out of that dark place because living in denial is a bad place to reside.
    • Thielen is a free agent, isn't he? And regardless we need a younger version of him anyway. I see XL + Coker as our #1 and #2 with Palmer as the #3 in that scenario.
