Film Independent Members, you and a guest are invited to watch Bruiser in our Film Independent Presents Online Screening Room, powered by Vision Media. A special pre-recorded conversation with director Miles Warren and producer/star Trevante Rhodes, moderated by Eric Kohn (Executive Editor, IndieWire) is included as part of this screening experience.

In director Miles Warren’s searing feature debut about fathers, families and the effects of toxic masculinity, 14-year-old Darious (Jalyn Hall) explores the boundaries of his manhood through tumultuous interactions with Malcolm (Shamier Anderson), his strict but loving father, and Porter (Trevante Rhodes), a charismatic drifter. When Darious learns Porter’s true identity, he is thrust into a conflict between the two men that may rip his family apart and threaten his safety.
