Rising young actor Pilot Bunch, a local Atlanta talent, will be seen on the big screen in Lionsgate’s highly anticipated film The Unbreakable Boy out now. Bunch portrays Tyler, a classmate who plays a pivotal role in Austin’s journey, in this heartwarming drama that tells the inspiring true story of Austin LeRette, a boy born with both a rare brittle-bone disease and autism. This project holds deep personal significance for Bunch, as his own brother is on the autism spectrum. “This film is deeply personal to me,” says Bunch. “Growing up with a brother on the autism spectrum, I’ve seen firsthand how extraordinary and resilient individuals with autism are. I’m honored to be part of a story that celebrates love, acceptance, and perseverance.” Directed by Jon Gunn (The Case for Christ), the film stars Zachary Levi (Shazam!), Meghann Fahy (The White Lotus), Patricia Heaton (Everybody Loves Raymond), and Jacob Laval, who plays Austin. Based on the book The Unbreakable Boy: A Father’s Fear, a Son’s Courage, and a Story of Unconditional Love by Scott LeRette, the film is a touching testament to the power of perspective and unconditional love. Born in Kazakhstan and raised in Atlanta, Bunch discovered his passion for performing at a young age. He began acting in children's theater at 9 and quickly transitioned into professional productions. He made his television debut on HBO’s The Outsider and has since appeared in Nickelodeon’s Drama Club, ABC’s The Wonder Years, The Walking Dead, and the award-winning film The Hill. His upcoming projects include roles in HBO’s Task, The Righteous Gemstones and the feature films Flowervale Street and Red One. Beyond acting, Bunch is a multi-talented artist with a love for filmmaking, screenwriting, photography, music, and dance. He also gives back by volunteering as an assistant teacher for an elementary thespian troupe. You can watch on YouTube at Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)
