Deal Just Closed for THE FALL img

Michael Lipoma signed an option for his feature, then two producers with financing attached two casting directors, and everyone is excited to move forward. Lipoma said "This milestone is a big stop on a long road for this project. I can't remember how many drafts went into this, but I know I don't have enough fingers and toes to count! The lesson I learned is that projects take time, and just never stop writing, rewriting, and rewriting again."
