There is no regular life. Not for Carl. Falling off a bridge ... Carl Lazarus is miraculously saved by a petty criminal who dies in his place. To repay the debt Carl tries to be the perfect substitute husband and father to the dead man’s widow and son. Can Carl live someone else’s life better than his own? Or will he lose sight of himself and shatter the illusion of a regular life for all? Award-winning Falling is writer/director Clayton Allis’ debut feature. Clayton is part of a new breed of filmmakers who are creating a new standard for the independent movie. Using digital technology, Clayton has given Falling “… all the gloss of a Hollywood drama but the street cred of an indie...” (Baltimore City Paper). The New York Daily News has described Clayton’s work as “a perfect illustration of the future of moviemaking.” Falling follows hot on the heels of Clayton’s much lauded short :/RUN, which captured national attention for its innovative, fast-paced story about surveillance in the post-9-11 world.

Baltimore City Paper (5.0): "Falling is a finely observed, idiosyncratic slice-of-life piece set to slow boil and
captured in deadpan details."
