It is produced by Simon Chinn and Jonathan Chinn with directors Dan Lindsay and TJ Martin. The film premieres at the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival on Friday, April 21. That will be followed by a\u00a0multicity screening tour, then a limited theatrical release in New York and Los Angeles beginning April 28.
