Making its World Premiere at the 2018 LA Film Festival is the ride-sharing thriller, RIDE, starring Jessie T. Usher (Independence Day: Resurgence, Almost Christmas), Bella Thorne (The Duff, The Babysitter, “Scream: The TV Series), and Will Brill (“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” “The OA”).
The film marks the feature film debut from Writer and Director Jeremy Ungar (Soy Cubana, Sleepers of the City).
A struggling actor by day, James (Jessie T. Usher) pays his bills by driving people around Los Angeles for a ride sharing service. His night starts out like any other, but he can’t believe his luck when he picks up the beautiful Jessica (Bella Thorne), and they immediately hit it off. His next fare, the fast-talking Bruno (Will Brill), convinces James to go back and invite her to join them for a wild night out. But things take a shocking turn when Bruno, armed with a gun and a twisted idea of fun, forces them on a terrifying, white-knuckle ride that quickly spirals out of control.
RLJE Films will release the ride-sharing thriller, RIDE in theaters and available on VOD and Digital HD on October 5, 2018.
