The Film
GET BUSY LIVING is a new film about what is possible if you refuse to give up. It explores how love, community, and courage can have a profound influence on a person's ability to persevere and thrive in the face of adversity.
When Nick narrowly survived a devastating skydiving accident, his girlfriend Lindsay dropped everything to be by his side. With relentless support from family and friends, Nick and Lindsay were determined to get their lives back. GET BUSY LIVING follows their journey to overcome his new disabilities and return to his greatest passion, skydiving.
GET BUSY LIVING details Nick's vulnerability and resilience as he endures permanent spinal cord damage, painful amputations, and months of physical therapy--and must ultimately accept a new way of life. Along the way, Nick and Lindsay fight to maintain their positive attitudes and hunger for life, breaking down physical and emotional barriers to achieve one nearly-impossible goal after another.
