Ride

James is an aspiring actor, driving rideshare to make ends meet until he gets his big break. His night takes a turn for the better when he picks up the alluring Jessica, and their natural flirtation leads to the setting of future plans. James’ luck changes with his next fare, an inscrutable and jumpy passenger named Bruno, whose initial easy-going vibe swiftly morphs into something dangerous and unpredictable. At Bruno’s urging, the unwitting Jessica joins back up with them, and the three new acquaintances quickly become locked into a psychological war for survival. (Los Angeles Film Festival)
