Aaron's got problems:
bullies at school, a game design contest deadline, and anger that won't quit. When his biggest rival humiliates him and even his mom can't help, something breaks — literally. His unfinished gaming character, Stan, explodes into the real world as multiple rage-fueled versions of himself.
There's CG Stan (pure overwhelm), Paper Stan (a bodybuilder samurai stuck in a notebook), Sticky Stan (jealous and always watching), and more. Now Aaron's bedroom is a battlefield, his inner voices are running wild — and he has to figure out if the Stans will destroy everything or help him level up.
Through tenacity, humor, and a willingness to follow the chaos all the way down, Aaron finds what's really underneath his anger — and learns to use it, not for destruction, but as fuel.
our
take
on
anger
We live in an age where a boy's anger feels dangerous before it feels human. An angry kid can walk into a school and destroy everyone he associates with his pain. A moment of humiliation can become a reason to disappear. A digital bully can follow him home — stoking isolation and rage long past the public stage and into his most private moments.
And yet. Anger is not the enemy.
Resentment, rage, rumination — these aren't malfunctions. They're protective instincts. Signals worth listening to. The problem isn't that boys feel too much. It's that we've given them almost no stories that walk through anger and show what lives on the other side.
Release the Beast was built to be one of those stories.
To make it, we sought out collaborators who had looked most constructively — and most compassionately — at boys. Researchers who study adolescent emotional development. Clinicians working directly with angry kids. Experts in applied anger management. And the boys themselves, who told us exactly what it feels like when no one has the right words for what's happening inside them.
What we found was both humbling and galvanizing: the inner resources are already there. Boys don't need to be fixed. They need stories that take their inner lives seriously — and show them what those feelings are actually for.
The skills inside
the story.
Our films open the door — our activations let audiences put their feelings into practice.
Release the Beast is the mirror: boys see themselves in Aaron, a kid whose anger literally explodes out of his unfinished game. The film says you're not broken for feeling this much.
Rage Fighters is the next step — a free Roblox combat game where players fight enemies Aaron designed from his own inner world, using emotional regulation skills as real gameplay powers. The film helps boys recognize what they feel. The game gives them something to do about it.
