Only the Brave screenwriter with Granite Mountain roots
Ken Nolan, screenwriter of Only the Brave, has deep local ties to North Carolina and New York. He faced a tough assignment to chronicle the Granite Mountain Hot Shots and won trust from Amanda Marsh, widow of crew leader Eric Marsh, after which he gained broad access to families and survivors. He moved to Los Angeles in 1990, later writing Blackhawk Down, The Company, and Transformers: The Last Knight, with Only the Brave co scripted by Eric Singer. The film, though overlooked at awards, lives on via streaming and DVD sales, as Nolan continues to seek authentic, compact storytelling.
