The film is inspired by the historic reform school in Florida called the Dozier School for Boys, which was notorious for abusive treatment of students. Shot in a first-person point-of-view, filming took place in Louisiana in late 2022. The film premiered at the 51st Telluride Film Festival on August 30, 2024, and is set to have a limited theatrical release by Amazon MGM Studios on December 13, 2024. • • Katherine S. interviews RaMell Ross a... • Cast: Ethan Herisse as Elwood • Ethan Cole Sharp as young Elwood • Daveed Diggs as adult Elwood • Brandon Wilson as Turner, Elwood's friend inside Nickel Academy • Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor as Hattie, Elwood's grandmother • Hamish Linklater as Spencer, the school administrator • Fred Hechinger as Harper, a school employee • Jimmie Fails as Mr. Hill, Elwood's encouraging high school teacher • Like and subscribe to our channel to get our latest videos. • Leave comments.
