Watch Spellbound on YouTube

About Spellbound

Wingsuit BASE jumping is often presented as a thrill seeking adrenaline rush. Spellbound takes us deeper into the more contemplative aspects of jumping, as David Walden and friends venture into the mountains around his home in New Zealand.Beautiful scenery and hypnotic cinematography eject us from our daily lives into a world of air, earth and flight.
