EXCLUSIVE: Denise Richards and John Schneider have joined John K. D. Graham’s teenage faith-based movie Switched.

In the project, which is currently filming in Louisville, Kentucky, ultra-popular high schooler Katie Sharp (Madeleine Byrne) torments Cassandra Evans (Miya Horcher) until a nighttime prayer switches their bodies. As the complexity of their lives play out, each girl learns a lesson in empathy and love, while addressing issues of cyber-bullying and peer pressure.

The film co-stars Instagram and YouTube personalities Vanessa Merrill and Chelsea Crockett.

Graham (Catching Faith, At Your Own Risk), also wrote the original screenplay with Alexandra Boylan and Andrea Polnaszek.

The film’s EP is Nicole Weider, founder of the faith based website Project Inspired, which mentors teenage girls dealing with issues like those addressed in the film. Switched is produced by Boylan, Graham, and Polnaszek for Mustard Seed Entertainment (Catching Faith, A Wish For Christmas).
