 Jackrabbit Sky is an original feature length 35mm film about Max Boden, a university naturalist trying to stop the construction of a copper mine on the outskirts of Tucson, Arizona in 1939. Through a series of arduously comical trials, Max learns to use a small motion picture camera in order to capture images of the unique local flora and fauna that would be affected by the mine. The footage is submitted to a New York newsreel agency, with hopes that it will bring national exposure to the issue. The entire feature length 35mm period piece was shot for under $90,000.
