According to The Hollywood Reporter, Entertainment One's Momentum Pictures has acquired North American rights to the dramatic comedy HARD SELL, starring Tony Award winner Kristin Chenoweth. Writer and director Sean Nalaboff will make his feature film debut in the indie film, set to hit theaters this Spring. The cast also includes Katrina Bowden and Skyler Gisondo.

The film follows "Hardy Buchanan (Gisondo), a senior at an elite private school who struggles to support his unstable mom (Chenoweth). Desperate to make some quick cash, he enlists the help of Bo (Bowden), a beautiful runaway, and together they devise an unconventional plan of profiting off of the wayward teens at Hardy's school. When the students learn that Bo has more to offer than what meets the eye, the unlikely duo's new business takes a unique turn, tossing them headfirst into the lifestyles of the rich and dysfunctional."

"We're so thankful to have worked with this amazing group of people on Hard Sell and couldn't be more excited to share this story with audiences everywhere. Momentum Pictures is a perfect fit for the release," said Nalaboff in a statement.

Chenoweth was last seen on Broadway in ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY for which she received a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical.
