The Unbreakable Boy (2025)

In The Unbreakable Boy, Scott and Teresa learn that their son Austin is both autistic and has brittle bone disease, making them worry for their son’s future. But with Scott’s growing faith and Austin’s incredible spirit, they become “unbreakable”, finding joy, gratitude, and courage even in the most trying times.

People’s Choice nominee Zachary Levi (aka Shazam) stars as Scott, a father battling addiction, with Emmy nominee Meghann Fahy (Sirens, The White Lotus, The Bold Type) as his wife Teresa.

As Austin, Jacob Laval (The Plot Against America) won the 2025 Young Artist Award for Best Performance in a Feature Film: Leading Teen Artist, while writer-director Jon Gunn won Heartland Film’s 2025 Truly Moving Picture Award.
