This short is the unauthorized, heavily abridged, biographical, visual and supersonic moment about the fact that Johnny Allen Hendrix (aka Jimi Hendrix) knew how to skydive. Set in Seattle where Jimi was born and raised, the film wonders aloud about what this skill meant for the life he went on to lead. Why did he retreat to the sky so quickly before all of us were ready for him to go? Directed by Terence Nance.

What do Jimi Hendrix, a Sasquatch, ice cream, Bruce Lee and nature all have in common? Seattle, of course.  In this series, we invite five notable filmmakers to visit Seattle as inspiration for a short film that shares the story of the city. Project Five by Five explores their specific, personal takes that immerse viewers and share the unique stories of the Emerald City.
