    The young lead of this film, Penn Lampton, has been fighting Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL type) since December of 2019, not too long after we wrapped principal photography for Natal. His condition has improved tremendously from the day he was first diagnosed but he is nonetheless fragile in health.
