The pic premiered at Sundance last January. Gravitas Ventures will release theatrically in LA and simultaneously on demand September 21.
Bang co-wrote and co-produced the movie with Wein under his banner Mister Lister Films. She will star in upcoming Netflix comedy Always Be My Maybe alongside Keanu Reeves, Ali Wong and Randall Park.
