Angel Studios, the innovative platform that empowers creators to crowdfund, create, and distribute films series globally with full creative control, is honored to announce the feature film “Brave the Dark” will release in theaters January 24, 2025.

“The Angel Guild consistently resonates with true stories of everyday people who have amplified light to the communities around them,” said Jared Geesey, Chief Distribution Officer at Angel Studios. “‘Brave the Dark’ reveals the lengths a high school teacher will go to instill value and purpose in a troubled student’s life, and explores the powerful impact one person can have to bring redemption and healing.”

Based on an inspiring true story, “Brave the Dark” powerfully portrays the transformation of a 1980s small-town teacher as he is drawn into the mysterious past of a student suddenly arrested outside his classroom. Long sustained by a quiet belief that no student is a lost cause, Stan Deen discovers the profound and direct impact he can have on another life. But as Stan attempts to figure out how troubled, secretive Nate wound up living alone in his car, without any family, their relationship will test his deepest convictions and become a life-changing journey through doubt and betrayal towards trust and redemption.

The film stars BAFTA winner and Golden Globe and Emmy nominee Jared Harris (“Chernobyl,” “Mad Men”), Nicolas Hamilton (“It,” “Captain Fantastic”), Jamie Harris (“The Prestige”), and Tobias Segal (“John Wick: Chapter 2,” “Sneaky Pete”). The film was directed by Damian Harris (“Gardens of the Night”) and screenplay by Dale G. Bradley (“Lost Valley”), Lynn Robertson-Hay (“The Impact”), Nathaniel Deen (“I Heard the Bells”), John P. Spencer (“Frayed”), and Damian Harris. Produced by Grant Bradley, Derek Dienner, and Dale G. Bradley with production companies MAKE/FILMS and Inspiring Films.

“Brave the Dark” will be in theaters nationwide January 24, 2025.
