My feature film debut. I had a great time on set and enjoyed working with everyone! Learned a lot by experience and talking to Jared and other folks on set. A pleasure being part of the telling of this story!
Brandon MilesJan 23, 2025I didn't know this was based on a true story, but it explains the film's biggest strength: In no way does this movie try to Hollywood-ify the story. The teacher helping the teen is the beginning of a rough road, not the end. This travels a well-worn path, but it's still a…

SplatterboxdJan 29, 2025"This too shall pass." So, this is pretty much a diet version of Good Will Hunting. It even has a "It's not your fault." scene. Yeah, this is formulaic and something you have seen a few times. But that doesn't change that the message isn't worth repeating, especially when…

It was a good story, but wasn't the best quality. They also left out the characters faith that was his driving factor to help the boy on the true story

Reminds me of a teacher that took me to the carnival in 2nd grade when my family did not have any money. She was always kind to me. 💕

Harris, as always, imbues his characters with a wearied conviction, which goes a long way towards making Stan feel a bit more layered than the feel-good Ned Flanders type the script saddles him with.
