baloonJan 20, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Balloon Boy is back. Now it is coming to theaters. It is a short documentary movie Balloon Boy: Guilty until Proven Innocent. Director Steven C. Barber found the balloon hoax of the Heene’s family interesting and planned to make a documentary out of it. As per the sources, he will attempt to prove Richard Heene’s innocence through this documentary. Richard Heene was locked up behind the bars for 90 days. Apart from that he was sentenced to probation which forbade him from profiting from his unusual balloon scheme. Steven C. Barber still believes that Richard Heene’s son was really trapped in a balloon that flew through Colorado skies on October 15th. The director says Richard Heene invented this balloon as he tried to solve traffic problems by letting people soar over congested highways.

Steven C. Barber truly reveres this genius who is willing to solve traffic problems. He has spent hours in the film trying to observe one scientific project after the other. He is a huge fan of Richard Heene. Steven C. Barber says, “He’s a freakin’ genius, a really smart guy - and he’s a good guy.” He made a lot of footages trying to help Richard Heene launch a TV reality show about his scientific inventions.

The idea of using balloons as means of transport in order to avoid congestion might sound ridiculous or just a little too far-fetched. Steven C. Barber, however, has great faith on this scientist’s adventures and he calls Richard Heene “mad genius” who has an hunger for exploring a little offbeat theories. After the release of this documentary we will know how viewers accept this unique theory.
