ALPHA, BRAVO, CHARLIE

A young woman struggling to overcome her fear of flight finds courage from a pilot instructor.

About the Film

Alpha, Bravo, Charlie is a fictional short drama set in the world of aviation, inspired by real events, and real people. This story is about the legacy of a father, and the connection between teacher and student. It's a personal passion project and a love letter to a father's love for flying, and the inspiring stories of flight instructors.

The story of Alpha, Bravo, Charlie is heavily inspired by real events, real people, and is shot at the same airport location inspired by the writer’s childhood.

Shot on Location: The Intersection of Aviation and Filmmaking

The story is inspired by and shot at Reid-Hillview Airport, a county airport located in San Jose, California, in the heart of the Silicon Valley. It's home to several flight schools, is a historic landmark of San Jose, and is an essential place for aspiring pilots and aviation enthusiasts.

This is a fantastic opportunity for our filmmaking team to collaborate with the aviation community through their artistic talents, and to connect with a beloved local San Jose community through one of its key functional and key historic landmark components.

While this short film is a small, personal work of art, this film is also dedicated to and in direct support of the larger aviation community in the Bay Area.
