LIFTED----Casting Call for Principal Actors & Background Extras---

The feature-length film "Lifted" goes into production at the end of next month in the Birmingham, AL area , under a SAG Modified Low Budget Agreement.  This will mark the second collaboration between Hunter Films of Birmingham and Director, Lexi Alexander  ("Hooligans" with Elijah Wood and last year's "Punisher: War Zone").
