ABOUT

The film "The Lift," directed by Sam Pilling, reinvents the codes of the sector around the gambler and his motivations: to be able to please a close family member after having won a little money, in this case, pleasing his mother. The film premiered on Mother's day in France. After winning an online sports bet, a son sends his mother on an elevator ride, which speeds up and takes off through all the floors of the building, to the first class of a plane. A spectacular climb that causes quite a bit of damage along the way and an emotional ride for the mother until she settles into the plane at the height of her happiness. A smashing and powerful epic adventure with a touch of humor to the sound of Elvis' If I Can Dream. Director Sam Pilling says, "Ideas this fun and creative are rare, so for me, it was important that the visuals and acting performances were perfect. This meant working closely with our cast and shooting as much as possible in real life rather than relying on CGI. I can honestly say that this was the most fun I've had making a film in the studio."
