Quinta Brunson takes a swing with new comedy film

A fresh collaboration in the comedy world

Quinta Brunson, the creative force behind “Abbott Elementary,” is set to bring her unique comedic flair to the big screen with the upcoming film “Par for the Course”. Teaming up with Point Grey Pictures and her own production company, Fifth Chance, Brunson will star alongside the talented Stephanie Hsu, known for her standout role in “Everything Everywhere All At Once.”

A dynamic team behind the scenes

Brunson isn’t just starring in the film; she’s also co-writing the script with Justin Tan, a writer from “Abbott Elementary.” Tan will make his directorial debut with this project, adding another layer of excitement to the film’s development. Alex McAtee will produce on behalf of Point Grey, which has a first-look deal with Universal Pictures.

Point Grey Pictures, founded by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg in 2011, has a track record of successful projects, including “Joy Ride,” “Neighbors,” and “Miller’s Girl.” Their recent releases include the fourth season of Prime Video’s “The Boys” and “Sausage Party: Foodtopia.”

Stephanie is a talent we are so fortunate to unite with, I can’t wait to see what we can do together on screen.”
