Alabama Gov. Bob Riley announced in August that the state is funding its first independent film production for its new incentives program under the Alabama Film Office.
The film, titled “Lifted,” which qualifies for an approximately $153,000 rebate, is directed by Alan Hunter, who previously worked on other independent films including “Johnny Flynton,” which was nominated for an Academy Award in 2003.
“Lifted,” tells the story of a talented young man who inspires to become a singer despite hard circumstances, and it will take place around rural Birmingham. The film will star new talent Uriah Shelton of Mobile, Ala., Dash Mihok, former American Idol winner Ruben Studdard, country singer Trace Adkins and Alan Hunter himself.
