BRAVE THE DARK, OFFICIAL TRAILER
Based on a true story, Damian Harris’ film chronicles the transformation of Stan Deen, a small-town drama teacher in the 1980s. Played by BAFTA-winning, Golden Globe-nominated and Emmy-nominated Jared Harris, he is drawn into the mysterious past of a student, Nathan (Nicholas Hamilton), who is arrested outside his classroom.
Long sustained by a quiet belief that no student is a lost cause, Deen tries to bond with Nathan, secretive and living alone in his car. Their relationship will test his deepest beliefs and become a life-changing journey.
The film's co-writer and subject Nathaniel Deen said the work "isn't just my story, it's a tribute to my hero, Stan Deen. We're honored to join forces with Angel Studios to help Brave the Dark and Stan's legacy shine on the world stage." (Nathaniel Dean eventually took Stan Deen's last name.)
