Acrophobia – I’m afraid of heights

Visit Us

Short and beautiful, ‘Acrophobia’ is about a BASE jumper that is afraid of heights. He has to overcome his deepest fear before every single jump.

BASE jumpers are not crazy. For them, responsibility and safety is the most important thing. They jump because of that one moment, where the whole world around them fades into irrelevance.

This attitude peaks in the story of Martijn Maas. He’s been skydiving since 1997 and started BASE jumping some years later and since 2010 he’s competing successfully in the World Wingsuit League. And yet, Martijn is afraid of heights.
