Los Angeles, CA — RLJ Entertainment’s Urban Movie Channel (UMC) continues its summer long schedule of laugh-out-loud comedy titles with the return of “Fall Out Fridays.” Continuing with the romantic-comedy Mouthpiece on Friday, August 12, UMC adds a new comedy title each and every Friday until the beginning of September. An “urban Entourage meets The Hangover,” Mouthpiece follows Matt, a young black filmmaker that comes to L.A. to document his cousin, 3D’s, hot, new book on success, The Laws.

The Laws is a step-by-step guide that teaches any man to get what he wants, whether that is money, power and/or sex. After putting the laws to the test, Matt quickly joins the intoxicating nightlife of Hollywood. Along the way he realizes that in life you have to know the game. You have to know the laws. You have to have a MOUTHPIECE. Written and directed by David Merritt II, the film stars Lamonica Garrett (Blackish, The Game, Sons of Anarchy), Sean Poolman (Single Ladies, Casual), Jackson McQueen, James Costas, and Josh Pertler.

“We are excited to see the debut of our passion project, Mouthpiece, on UMC,” said director David Merritt II. “LaMonica Garrett shines in his starring role as an actor struggling to find love and success, and Jackson McQueen is absolutely hilarious as ‘Five Feet.’ Grab your popcorn and get ready to laugh!”
