In the late nineteen-fifties Terry Sweeney was a kid growing up in Dunbarton, New Hampshire.
Terry was fascinated by a photograph he found in his grandfather’s Compton’s Picture Encyclopedia. The picture was of a 1917-vintage glider. It looked like a box kite. It was made of wood and canvas. You could make it yourself and it would fly.
In 1969 Terry recreated this glider. But instead of wood and canvas, Terry made his out of aluminum tubing and Polyethylene.
It cost him thirty-seven bucks.
Enter me.
Back then I had become interested in movie making but had never made a film.
