Drift

At night, when cities go quiet, Isaac “Drift” Wright climbs. Skyscrapers, cranes, and iconic landmarks become his canvas as he scales the world’s tallest structures without permission, camera in hand. Suspended hundreds of feet above the ground, he captures breathtaking images from perspectives few have ever seen — equal parts artist, athlete, and outlaw. As his photographs circulate on social media and his reputation grows, so does the attention from law enforcement. What begins as a solitary act of creative pursuit quickly escalates into a high-stakes confrontation with authorities determined to stop him. But DRIFT is more than a story of adrenaline and defiance. As the film peels back the layers behind Drift's pursuits, it reveals a former Army veteran grappling with the invisible aftermath of war — and a man who has found, in the stillness above the city, a fragile sense of control and clarity. Using immersive access and vertigo-inducing footage, what emerges is an intimate portrait of risk, resilience and freedom in modern America.
