Exclusive: Angel Studios will release Brave The Dark in theaters on January 24, 2025 on a minimum of 1,000 screens.
Based on a true story, the film by Damian Harris portrays the transformation of a 1980s small-town drama teacher Stan Deen — played by BAFTA winner and Golden Globe and Emmy nominee Jared Harris — 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 attempts to bond with Nathan, secretive and living alone in his car. Their relationship will test his deepest convictions and become a life-changing journey.
Co-writer and subject of the film, Nathaniel Deen, said the work “isn’t just my story, it’s a tribute to my hero, Stan Deen. We are honored to link arms with Angel Studios, so Brave the Dark and Stan’s legacy can shine brightly on the world stage.
