Story Synopsis:  Lemoine is a late night radio storyteller. Cali is an OG BASE Jumper, who leaps from his station’s broadcast tower to stick her landing in the headlights of his oncoming car. Set in the clandestine subculture of international BASE Jumping, their story is a free fall into bottomless obsession and truth or dare sex -- with death lurking in the wings. 

There’s a million stories in the Naked City, but only a handful of True Noir themes worth pursuing. My personal favorite theme is the one that animates my personal favorite Noir, IN A LONELY PLACE (1950); and now, seventy + years later, it animates our “Film Noir for Your Ears” THE JUMPER (2Hrs & 29Mins).

About the theme: OG feminist and scholar Germaine Greer has written, "The muse in her purest aspect is the feminine part of the male artist, with which he must have intercourse if he is to bring into being a new work. She is the anima to his animus, the yin to his yang, except that, in a reversal of gender roles, she penetrates or inspires him and he gestates and brings forth, from the womb of the mind." 

- Steve Brodeur
