Lifted is a 2010 American drama film written and directed by Lexi Alexander, starring Dash Mihok, Nicki Aycox and Uriah Shelton.
Henry Matthews (Uriah Shelton) lives in a small town in Alabama with his parents, William (Dash Mihok) and Lisa (Nicki Aycox).
Pastor John gives Henry a flyer for the Alabama Teen Star Quest, a singing competition in Birmingham.
The friend's remote breaks on the channel talking about Henry and reads a letter William gave him.
Together Henry and William's friend win the competition and are offered a chance to meet with a record company in Los Angeles.
Gabe was quoted as saying, "What I liked so much about this film is that it centered on family relationships, but at the same time encourages us to dream big.
Also, the film serves as a heartfelt tribute to the tremendous sacrifices all our servicemen and women and their families make every day.
From a political standpoint, it successfully navigates the narrow road of depicting war as tragedy but warriors as vital heroes.
The film was actively promoted by GATE (Global Alliance for Transformational Entertainment), an organization co-founded by Jim Carrey and Eckhart Tolle.
