The rubber met the road in the early 1970s for Bill Costen. After being drafted by the Buffalo Bills, tragedy forces him out of his dream.

Balloon Man is an intimate portrait of a former NFL athlete who learned how to navigate through the clouds, told through the lens of his daughter, award-winning filmmaker, Chantal Potter. Bill found freedom in flying, proving that with a bit of faith, the sky's the limit.

    A must see for any LTA or Aviation Enthusiast. The scenes from the NJ Quick Check Balloon Fest brought back memories of summer days and evenings of living in NJ. Great story telling. Bill Costen you are a Legend. 👏💯👍👍
