Starring Major Dodson who plays Tyson Hollerman, Rory Cochrane, Amy Smart, and Barkhad Abdi, “Tyson’s Run” is about a fifteen-year-old boy, living with autism, who tries to heal the rift between his parents and the emotional distance from his father by giving his unfulfilled father purpose and giving father and son a second chance to put their family bond first.

Mr. Bass, a former staff writer on the sketch comedy series In Living Color and creator of primetime family series Sister, Sister, and Kenan & Kel, created this feel-good, family drama.

I’m proud and feel privileged to have been part of a film that both entertains and impacts. Now that Universal Pictures Content Group has enthusiastically agreed to bring the film to your home, I am grateful.”
