Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee will produce the film through Thunder Road, alongside Arthur Sarkissian and John Schramm; Stuart Ford will executive produce for AGC Studios alongside 30West. Production is set to kick off this summer. AGC International and CAA Media Finance represent the film’s worldwide distribution rights and will introduce the film to buyers at the upcoming EFM.
