Editor/Associate Producer: Jessica Schoen

Feature documentary follows a husband-and-wife team over a six-year period as they struggle to create and race the most advanced racing airplane in the world. Jessica worked closely with director Christopher Webb, sifting through over four hundred hours of material, integrating HD video, archival footage and Super 16mm film. 

Air Racer premiered on The Documentary Channel and has been screened several years in a row at the world's largest aviation event, EAA's AirVenture Oshkosh, attended by over a million visitors annually. The film also screened for thousands of viewers at the largest indoor theater in the USA during the famed Reno Air Races.

This is without a doubt the best movie ever made about air racing ... a racer has to appreciate the authenticity and soul of this movie.
– Bob Axsom, Sport Air Racing League 

'Air Racer' is a documentary about the elite world of air racing. The movie profiles a husband and wife team that try to create the most advanced, purpose-built air racing airplane ever built. The result is an exciting look at the competitive, but rarely seen world of air racing.
– Jason Paur, WIRED.com 

Unbelievable. Breathtaking. And above all... REAL. This is a movie about air racing that looks like it can hit the holy grail of appealing to the general public and also be something we can all get behind.
– AAFO.com, HangarTalk 

'Air Racer' is a skillful blending of the personal and technical aspects of air racing that spectators never get to see. It’s all there... The next best thing to being at the Reno Air Races. Highly recommended.
