Film Promotes The Romance of Flying

You Gotta See... One Six Right

by ANN Correspondent Pete Tobin

Brian J. Terwilliger is a bold young film maker, who combined his love for visual images and passion for flight into a beautifully woven documentary about Van Nuys Airport -- which vies for the title of busiest general aviation airport in the

world -- called "One Six Right."

"To tell the story of general aviation, you need a main character. Van Nuys fit that bill very well," says Terwilliger. "It's historic. It's busy. Mostly, there are always vastly different aircraft on the ramp. It's like watching an air show each and every day. Every time you head to the runway, something unbelievable taxis in front of you, from Hawkers to Hunters to T-38's to J-3 Cubs and everything in between."

Terwilliger adds he is an artist who loves film making -- loves taking the time to wait for just right light for the most dramatic shot, especially if the subject of that photo is an airplane. He also loves combining music and visual images to tell a story.

Although his long range goal is dramatic films, Terwilliger invested several years of his life this project; three years in just raising money alone.

"I think people were concerned that I was making the most expensive home movie ever," the filmmaker laughs.

His persistence led to 12 investors... and eventually even Cessna Aircraft agreed to become his financial partner.

With a half a million in the bank, Brian and his crew slowly began shooting. All together it took 14 months to get the entire film "in the can" which was followed by a year of post production.

Brian's efforts were rewarded with a genuine Hollywood premiere at the Hollywood Pacific Theater on June 25, 2005 with 900 people in attendance.

Presently, Brian is displaying his film on the Oshkosh grounds in not one, but two places -- inside Hangar D, Booth 4017... and with an extraordinary, Cub-hangin'-off-the-ground outdoor display, between Hangars A & C cosponsored by Legend Cub.

"I'm thrilled with EAA's support of the film," Brian says. "They feel that it's a great way to discuss what we all love about the flying. That child-like passion. They are selling the DVD's all over Oshkosh. In return we are donating five dollars to the EAA's Young Eagles program for each copy of the film that sells here."

"It costs $5 per child to get a Young Eagle their first ride in an airplane," Terwilliger added. "If we sell a few thousand copies of "One Six Right," we're going to put a few thousand young eagles in the air."

After Oshkosh, Terwilliger plans to begin a 13 city tour promoting "One Six Right."
