In this episode of ‘Unscripted,’ Aaron engages in a compelling conversation with film producer Nate Deen, who discusses his latest project, ‘Brave the Dark.’ Nate shares his life story, which forms the basis of the film, revealing a childhood filled with traumatic experiences that led him to distrust adults and make poor decisions in his teenage years. At 16, Nate ran away from home, living in his car and getting into trouble.
His life took a turn for the better thanks to Mr. Stan Deen, a compassionate high school teacher who took Nate under his wing, eventually becoming a father figure.
Nate recounts how this relationship influenced his decision to change his last name to Deen in honor of his mentor. Nate also discusses the founding of the Stan Deen Foundation, aimed at helping young people in need.
The film ‘Brave the Dark’ is currently in theaters, distributed by Angel Studios. Nate emphasizes the film’s message of hope and redemption, and his plans to tell more stories of individuals who have overcome adversity.
