- Chang Can Dunk will follow a 16-year old, constantly marginalized, not-popular high school kid and wannabe basketball player becomes obsessed with the idea of learning to dunk, all in an effort to best the school’s basketball star, Matt — and hopefully win the adoration of the very pretty Kristy.
- The new film will be written and directed by Jingyi Shao.
- Lena Waithe and Rishi Rajani will serve as producers through their Hillman Grad Productions.
- Brad Weston and Negin Salmasi will also produce the movie.
- Chang Can Dunk is intended for Disney+.
