We will be talking to Lee Cipolla this week about his current movie coming out “The Shift” with Danny Glover, Leo Oliva and Casey Fitzgerald. Lee has been able to work all angles in the movie industry. He worked camera crew, cinematographer, written three titles, producer of two titles and Director of eight titles. The shift is about a 12 hour night shift in the ER. It is based around two nurses and the struggle with spiritual turmoil of what is right and wrong. They have a very emotional case about a young patient dying of cancer. This will bring them to impossible decisions and question all they believe.
