Amber Midthunder has officially been tapped to join the cast of the drama comedy film Brave. Production is expected to begin around next summer on the Choctaw Nation Reservation in Oklahoma. The film will be directed by Steven Paul Judd from a screenplay written by Judd and Ken Hendersen.
“Brave tells the story of Uncle Jack (Goldtooth), a 15-year military vet with substance abuse issues who now works as the entertainment in his local Native casino,” reads the synopsis (via The Hollywood Reporter). “At the funeral of his estranged brother, Jack meets Jillian, his young niece, now an orphan. Jillian is dying of liver cancer and her one wish is to find a suitable home for her dog, Carl. She sees Uncle Jack as a potential caretaker, even though Jack can barely care for himself. A liver transplant could save Jillian’s life and Jack is a match, but his years of alcohol abuse have made him unsuitable.”
