Speed And Angels (Part 1)

SPEED & ANGELS BIOGRAPHIES

Peyton Wilson (Director)
Acknowledged internationally for her authentic work about real people, Peyton Wilson has been directing since 1998. Peyton's unique contribution to Speed and Angels is her ability to take the concept of what it looks and feels like to be an elite fighter pilot and have it magically revealed, honestly and openly, onscreen.

Peyton's film career began in 1994 when she founded Spellbound Productions, known for its original programming and television commercial production. Spellbound was rated one of the fastest growing companies in the San Francisco Bay Area and boasts worldwide success for its story-telling approach to television commercials and original programming that has aired on PBS, TBS, A&E and the BBC.

Peyton served as the creative director for the documentary Take Joy: The Magical World of Tasha Tudor, which chronicled the life of the well-known but very private author. She was also creative director for Dreams Spoken Here, a film documenting the story of deaf children who learn to speak and to hear.

Peyton is also known for her television commercials, having produced award-winning spots for AT&T, Chase Bank Manhattan, Wells Fargo, Wal-Mart, Siebel Systems, Yahoo!, Levi's, Macy's, Coca Cola, Safeway, Hewlett Packard, Apple Computer and the Siebel System's Super Bowl campaign. Early in her career, Peyton also worked on music videos for famous artists that include Madonna and Earth, Wind and Fire.

Jay (Pilot)
He caught "the bug" the day he was born; his father took him up in a plane on the way home from the hospital. He's already living his second life at 23. As a high school senior, he was accidentally shot in the mouth at a party by a Marine. The doctors told him the bullet did as much damage as it could without killing him. He showed up a few months later at the Naval Academy with a reworked tongue and his burning desire to fly. The only son of a single mom, his brush with death made him more certain of his dream and drove his ambition to be #1 at everything he did.

Meagan (Pilot)
She's a typical 24-year-old woman, except when she goes to work, she straps into an F-14 Tomcat. She decided she had "a need for speed" as a 12-year old when she saw Top Gun with her father. "Dad, I want to be Maverick," she told him, and never looked back. Despite two pacifist sisters, she defied all critics and went to the Naval Academy. She both makes history and struggles with the choices only a woman must make in the "man's world" she's chosen.

This was one touching Documentary in the sense it sparked Passion to join up for the airforce. God How i wish to just sit in the seat of a F 14 tomcat :D it was truly a Fighter that struck fear into an Opponent , meaning its sheer fire power and just by the looks itself. These Pilots were Lucky to have flown it , :)

@emerychandler 100% agreed, I saw topgun when I was 3 (probably not the best movie for a 3-year-old) and I have wanted to fly ever since then
