PRNewswire - Los Angeles -- Redbox Entertainment has
acquired the North American distribution rights to SHE BALL,
a feature written, produced, and directed by Nick Cannon. The
film will be released simultaneously in theaters and widely available
On Demand including Redbox on August 6.
SHE BALL follows the love of basketball through the struggles of
Avery Watts (Cannon), who enlists the help of a women’s streetball
league to help him save the embattled Inglewood Community Center
he manages, all while trying to raise his seven-year-old daughter.
Redbox Entertainment is releasing “She Ball” directed by and
staring Nick Cannon on August 6 in theaters and On Demand.
The film stars Nick Cannon, Bryan ‘Birdman’ Williams,
Chris Brown, Cedric the Entertainer, DC Young Fly, Evan Ross,

athletes from the WNBA, Ball Up, and the Basketball Beauties
League, including Melody Rae, and Jaliyah Manuel. K.D. Aubert,
Luenell, and Marla Gibbs also star in the film.
“Nick Cannon, one of the most prolific Black voices in our
industry, has created a feature that truly captures the spirit of our
unique times with SHE BALL,” said Galen Smith, CEO of Redbox.
“SHE BALL tackles the critical issues of race and justice facing our
nation today in an enlightening and entertaining way.”
“Seeing this project come to life with my incredibly talented and
committed team has been nothing but rewarding, powerful and,
most importantly – fun!”, said SHE BALL’s writer, producer, director
and star, Nick Cannon. “I believe this film conveys a strong
message about the importance of aligning with today’s racial and
social justice movements and fight for equality; while also taking
us through a resonant example of someone in the community
trying to make ends meet. I’m excited to partner with Galen and
Redbox on this project to ensure the film reaches a wide audience
who will hopefully enjoy taking the journey with Avery!”
SHE BALL is produced by Nick Cannon, Bryan ‘Birdman” Williams,

(Tom Hardy), SHADOW IN THE CLOUD (Chloë Grace
Moretz and Nick Robinson), SAS: RED NOTICE (Sam Heughan
and Ruby Rose), and AMERICAN TRAITOR: THE TRUE
