Roadside Attractions Acquires Tim Tebow's RUN THE RACE

Roadside Attractions has acquired "Run the Race," a faith-based feature film that was executive produced by Tim Tebow and his brother Robby, according to Variety.

"Run the Race" follows Zach and David, two brothers reeling from the death of their mother and their father's abandonment. Zach, who is an All-State athlete, finds GLORY on the football field, working to earn a college scholarship in the hopes of earning he and his brother, David, a ticket out of town. But when a devastating injury sidelines Zach, David laces up his track cleats to salvage their future.

The film stars Tanner Stine, Evan Hofer, Mykelti Williamson and Frances Fisher. The film was directed by Chris Dowling a script he wrote with Jake McEntire and Jason Baumgardner. The film will be released on Feb. 22, 2019.

"I Can Only Imagine" was Roadside's recent faith-based drama, and it made $83.5 million in the U.S.

Roadside Attractions co-presidents Howard Cohen and Eric d'Arbeloff said about the acquisition, "I Can Only Imagine, Roadside's highest-grossing film, affirmed that inspirational, quality faith-based stories can reach a huge, highly valued audience. Tim and Robby Tebow are fantastic partners, and we believe their Run the Race will be embraced as enthusiastically by audiences nationwide."

"I wanted to be part of something that's encouraging and inspirational to the viewer. I believe Run the Race accomplishes this by showing two brothers struggling with real life, but them getting through it by supporting each other and their faith. I hope those who see it can walk away with more faith, hope and love," Tim Tebow added.
