'Fast Girl,' written by InkTip scribe D. Glase Lomond (along with Luke Ricci), has secured distribution though Allumination Filmworks for a nationwide DVD release. MarVista Entertainment is handling television and international distribution on this feature film. If Glase Lomond's name sounds familiar, that's because he had another script option announced just earlier this month. 'Fast Girl' was directed by Daniel Zirilli, who has more than twenty directing and producing credits to his resume, and Lomond has written or co-written four of them. Congratulations to them both! Fast Girl was produced by Matador Films, and in association with Popart Film Factory.
