This is the second in a series of three short films by James Callum and Alex Knowles, in partnership with Prime & Fire Selects, Talenthouse and BFI Future Film.
At 82, Dylis is billed as the oldest female skydiver in the world. Full of confidence and liberated by her passion Dylis talks us through her mindset before each dive. She confides that her only worry when it comes to skydiving is refusing to get out of the car at the drop zone because she knows that if she backed out of a dive she would regret it. In her opinion “the ecstasy is far more than the fear”.
Dylis describes skydiving as “better than having sex”. Along with the enjoyment, it has given Dylis the courage she needed to start her own charity and share the uplifting energy with others.
“I won’t stop until I know it’s not safe, so for now I will continue”. This is her story.
