REVERSAL

Based on a true story and enhanced by overall high production values, Reversal is centered around the competitive world of high school wrestling, the film explores the relationship between father and son. REVERSAL is a triumph of the spirit that demonstrates there must be a balance between discipline and freedom -- and that sometimes you must give up what you have to get what you want.

"The producers' limited funds must have been spent wisely because the film does have the look of a larger, more expensive production. Director Alan Vint, cinematographer William H. Molina, and composer Jeff Danna combine talents to give this picture a framework and texture of a project with five times the budget. One of the beautiful things about Reversal was the cinematography and the actual location could you say something about that?" -Mike Furches

"The location I think speaks for itself. We shot the film in Pennsylvania and the town Washington rolled out for us. We virtually had no art department. We got permission to use everything. The high schools, uniforms, all locations. I think it brings a good authentic look to the picture. The DP William Molina did a wonderful job and has everything to do with the look of the film." - Jimi Petulla / Producer
