Lifted is a 2010 American drama film written and directed by Lexi Alexander, starring Dash Mihok, Nicki Aycox and Uriah Shelton. It premiered at the Feel Good Film Festival on August 14, 2010, and was released straight-to-DVD in 2011.

Production

The film was produced by Deborah Del Prete, who produced Lexi Alexander's first full-length feature film, Green Street Hooligans. It was executive produced by Tommy Alastra. Alan and Hugh Hunter were co-producers, and also produced Alexander's Oscar-nominated short, Johnny Flynton.

The film was shot entirely in Irondale, Morris/pinson and Birmingham, Alabama, in the United States.

The film was endorsed by HRock Church of Pasadena, California. The church's senior pastor, Ché Ahn, and his son, Gabe Ahn, were shown a special screening of the film. 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."

Lifted was the first film made under Alabama's new film incentive program.
