Loam Entertainment has officially greenlit the independent comedy Bad Counselors, fully financing and producing the film in collaboration with Zero Gravity.
The film follows two party-loving fraternity brothers who pose as middle school camp counselors to fulfill community service requirements and salvage their senior year, offering a comedic “fish-out-of-water” scenario. Bad Counselors is directed by Chris Dowling, known for his work on Where Hope Grows, Blue Miracle, Run the Race, and Priceless.
Loam Entertainment, a recent expansion of its parent company Loam Media—a national radio network—partners with Zero Gravity, renowned for producing the critically acclaimed Ozark and the box office hit The Accountant, which will see a sequel later this year. Zero Gravity’s extensive portfolio also includes Beasts of No Nation, The Marksman, A Family Man, and Blacklight.
The establishment of Loam Entertainment aligns with Loam Media chairman Thomas Evans’ vision to channel capital towards inspiring younger generations. The greenlighting of Bad Counselors coincides with ongoing construction of a 268-acre media campus in Williamson County, Tennessee, scheduled for completion by 2027. Loam Entertainment plans to establish executive offices in both Los Angeles and Tennessee to concentrate on developing high-concept entertainment.
The film will be produced by Loam Entertainment CEO Robert Crotty, director of development Kristopher Galuska, and Chris Fenton, alongside Zero Gravity’s Houston Bradley, Narrow Gate’s Chris Roark, and Dowling. Executive producers include Evans, Mark Williams, and William Lowery. A release date for Bad Counselors has yet to be announced.
