Shout! Studios, a multi-platform media company, has acquired North American distribution rights to the upcoming comedy feature “Roll with It,” starring comedian Chonda Pierce. Described in the official release as “an inspiring story of strength, survival, family values and faith, with Pierce playing a single mother who, with help from her friends, readjusts to life after the loss of her husband,” the film was written and directed by Chris Dowling.

The cast also includes Judith Hoag, McKaley Miller, Evan Hofer, Carl McDowell and Mark Christopher Lawrence. The announcement was made today by Melissa Boag, Shout! Studios Executive Vice President.
