The story explores the conjunction between the horror fiction of H.P. Lovecraft and racism in the United States during the era of Jim Crow laws. Chase will take on the role of ‘Young Atticus Freeman’ in the year 1934.
He also joined up and coming rapper NBA YoungBoy in his music video for his single Lonely Child in 2019. Kicking off 2020, Chase joined the latest season of Tyler Perry’s “Ruthless” and “The Underground Railroad” from Amazon studios.
