“Jordan has created a wild and whimsical film that’s absolutely hysterical, and this original and heartfelt comedy will set itself apart from anything else being offered,”Kopelevich said.
“I couldn’t be happier to be in business with Red Sea Media and Roman Kopelevich,” Roberts said. “Roman gets the film, and he gets me. And I look forward to a long, mutually rewarding relationship with him.”
