Based on the breakout YA novel “The QB Bad Boy and Me”, Dallas (Siena Agudong), a burdened but headstrong dancer, is determined to get into the best dance school in the country—her late mother’s alma mater. But that dream is suddenly derailed when the cheeky yet secretly grieving high-school heartthrob, Drayton (Noah Beck), crashes into her life with a unique story of his own. Will the two of them grow into their dreams together or will they be sidelined?


The film stars Siena Agudong, Noah Beck, Drew Ray Tanner, with Deborah Cox and James Van Der Beek. Based on the Wattpad YA sensation The QB Bad Boy and Me by Tay Marley. Directed by Justin Wu (Syfy’s “Reginald the Vampire,” CBC’s “Kim’s Convenience”) from the teleplay by Mary Gulino (Amazon’s “Upload”) and Crystal Ferreiro (Disney’s “Diary of a Future President”). SIDELINED: THE QB AND ME is produced by Adam Wescott, McKenna Marshall and Wattpad WEBTOON Studios’ Aron Levitz, David Madden and Lindsey Weems Ramey.
