Welcome to the blog of Jonathan Reichel's upcoming UCF action/drama shortfilm "THE GOOD FIGHT".
The film is an action drama that focuses on the struggles of an adolescent street gang fighter and the wise mentor who saves his life, and guides him on the difficult path to maturity and emotional healing.
Official casting begins this Saturday, Feb 2nd, from 9:00am-12:00 breaking for an hour, and continuing from 1:00-9:00pm at the very latest.
