Quiver Distribution announced today that they have acquired the North American rights to the acclaimed horror feature Bitch Ass, starring Teon Kelley (Tyler), Tunde Laleye (Black as Night), Me’lisa Sellers (Split), and Tony Todd (Candyman).  Lauded by Deadline as “funny, charming,” writer-director Bill Posely (“Cobra Kai,” “Kenan”) “fabricates a highly entertaining homage to the Black horror of decades past” (IndieWire) with Bitch Ass, which premiered at this year’s SXSW and won the Midnighter’s Audience Award.  Quiver Distribution is planning an October 14, 2022 release. 

The film is produced by Zebra Kidd Productions.  Posely and Laleye serve as executive producers alongside writer Jonathan Colomb, Shane Brown, Chris Quintos Cathcart, Bente Engelstoft, Wil Gelin, Erica Montolfo-Bura, and Honora Talbott.  Quiver Distribution’s Larry Greenberg negotiated the deal with WME Independent on behalf of the filmmakers. 

Blending comedy, horror, and social commentary, Bitch Ass tells the story of a gang initiation gone wrong when a group of four recruits break into a house of horror and are forced by Bitch Ass (Laleye) to play deadly games for their lives. Win and you live – lose and you die.
