‘Quarter’: Ali Wentworth, Brooke Shields & Raven-Symoné To Star In Kelsey Bascom Coming-Of-Age Feature Film Debut

EXCLUSIVE: Kelsey Bascom, Ali Wentworth, Brooke Shields, and Raven-Symoné to star in new coming-of-age comedy, Quarter. The film also stars Breckin Meyer (Garfield, Rat Race), Tati Gabrielle (You, Uncharted), Eric Roberts (Babylon, Runaway Train), Mindy Sterling (Austin Powers), Brec Bassinger (Stargirl), Dot-Marie Jones (Bros, Glee), and Matty Cardarople (Stranger Things).

Written Bascom and co-directed by Bascom and Peabody Award-winning director Arnon Manor (who also serves as SVP of Visual Effects production at Sony Pictures), the film follows Kelly (Bascom), a young woman living with Type 1 diabetes, who’s about to turn 25, as she deals with the ups and downs of her blood sugar levels and the ups and downs of her personal life.

“I wrote Quarter because I want to normalize and bring awareness to Type 1 diabetes (T1D),” Bascom says. “Most narrative films or TV shows that incorporate Type 1 diabetes either misinterpret or overdramatize it, and we want this film to feel real and the audience to get inside Kelly’s head, a normal person with an abnormal autoimmune disease. It’s all very personal.”

Quarter is produced by Bascom, Manor, Judi Bell, Bri Lageyre and Krista Minto, and features the largest assemblage of T1Ds on a film production to-date.

Raven-Symoné is repped by Verve and The Pacella Law Group; Brooke Shields is repped by UTA, Untitled, Ziffren Brittenham LLP, and JFPR; and Ali Wentworth is repped by CAA.
