One Fall

The premise was great. Some acting left a bit to be desired. I enjoyed it for the fantasy of the story. Directing a movie while also playing the main character is certainly not an easy feat.

I recently watched One Fall on Demand. It truly is a wonderful, wonderful movie. I was very refreshed to watch something that inspired hope. I'm looking forward to more of Marcus Fuller's works.

The movie is about a man, James, who develops the power to heal sick people around him after he somehow survives a fall off of a cliff just outside a town, One Fall. After the fall, James leaves his hometown. He didn't know how to reveal his new power to his friends and family. After a short stint in jail, he returns home. He begins to use his gift for personal profit--everyone loves his gift, but secretly he's using it only for financial and status gain.

James begins to question his own motives and must figure out why he was fortunate enough to survive such a drastic fall.

It's a grand tale of how we all use our individual gifts--sometimes for selfish reasons, but ultimately, we must make sacrifices and place our talents in the right places. Enjoyed the movie very much! Give it a watch!

James Bond (Marcus Dean Fuller) a man with an unfinished past takes a 200 foot fall off a local landmark. He survives; not only that but finds in the process that he has gained the power to heal people,

As with all people that gain abilities, he must figure out why (if there is a way) and how to handle it. Eventually, he will have to go home and come to grips with whom he is and, in the process, wrap up some unfinished business.

The pace is a bit slow, and it counts on more visual than a verbal description. You get the feeling that this is an independent film.

Similar plots and execution can be found in Resurrección (1980).

I saw this film in my TV room on net flix march 2014 I liked it/. Parts of the film were weak but over all I think the idea was good and well presented. Its a fantasy accept it as that!! magic realism is "an aesthetic style or genre of fiction in which magical elements blend with the real world. The story explains these magical elements as real occurrences, presented in a straightforward manner that places the "real" and the "fantastic" in the same stream of thought. Although it is most commonly used as a literary genre, magic realism also applies to film and the visual arts." I think writer/director Marcus Dean fuller did a great job considering he wrote and directed!! At age eighteen, while climbing with friends, Marcus fell over one hundred feet breaking and his back in several places. After weeks in the hospital he received the news that he would not regain use of his legs. Two weeks later he walked out of the hospital. This experience became the inspiration for his first feature film, One Fall.Mr. Fuller serves on the Yale School of Drama Board of Advisors, the Yale University Alumni Board, The Nantucket Theater Institute Board of Directors and the Hyde Museum Board of Trustees. He holds degrees in English Literature, Philosophy and Psychology and is a graduate of the Yale School of Drama.

One Fall tells the story of James Bond (I love this…reminds me of a name pun I employed in one of my screenplays), played by Marcus, who miraculously survived a 200 foot fall. After a very brief recovery (that's an understatement), he disappeared from the city of One Fall without explanation. He even left behind his beautiful fiancé. He later returns to One Fall to face the music and use the gift he undeniably has. However, healing people doesn't come cheap. There's that moral dilemma I was talking about two paragraphs above. What would you do if you had this power? Would you exploit it or use it for greater good? James wrestles with this and more as people all around him, even loved ones, start to push him away. They can't understand him. To them, the man who fell never came back. James must come to grip with who he is, why he survived that fall and what he is meant to do in this world with his gift. Again…wow! The story is not only profound in my opinion, but very powerful, deep and touching. (Read the full review at whysoblu dot com)
