LIFTED ~ continued from page one ~ 6/22/09

Anybody who knows me has heard me say that I think Dash Mihok is one of the best actors of his generation and, as always, I am honored to work with him again.

As for Kid Cudi, if you didn't already know his name, you have definitely heard his music – his song "Day N' Nite" is in heavy rotation on every radio station worth listening to.

Cudi was signed to G.O.O.D. MUSIC by Kanye West and he is blowing up big time right now as a hip hop artist. He's done some acting work, but LIFTED will be his first feature film. It's a challenging part, but I know he will smash it.

When Dash first suggested him for the role, I read and watched everything on the internet I could find about him. This Kid just oozes honesty and authenticity. You probably didn't hear it here first, but I'm going to say it anyway; "He'll kick ass in Hollywood just like he does in the world of hip hop."

On top of it all, he is a really good and humble guy, so needless to say, Dash, myself and the entire LIFTED team are super excited to have him aboard.

We are currently casting for our lead character HENRY MATTHEWS, the thirteen-year-old blue eyed soul! Stay tuned for the announcement here!

Peace out
