ABOUT
JUMPERS is a 16-minute documentary film about rising equestrian athlete SKYLAR WIREMAN, who’s defying the odds in a sport where wealth often determines success. Skylar proves that her dreams are possible through a combination of hard work, talent, and her bond with her horse, Tornado. Filmed over the course of two years and three different countries, JUMPERS captures what it means for a young athlete to chase her Olympic dreams and how much she is willing to sacrifice in order to make it. The short film is a proof of concept for an expanded feature-length documentary, with a planned release to align with the LA 2028 Olympics.
The short film is being released in 2026.
