Actor and writer Jeremy Glazer melts hearts with his short film “On the Ride.” It was directed by Jen McGowan.
In this short, a man named Scott Long (played by Jeremy Glazer) grapples with memories of a recent trauma while he takes his morning bike ride throughout the city.
His route takes an unexpected turn, and he finds himself on the doorstep of a stranger, Deidre Gilbert (played by Beverly Todd) and he is intimately connected to the past he can’t shake.
Spence Moore II is a revelation as Roshawn Gilbert, while Beverly Todd is comforting and the voice of reason as Deidre. Brant Rotnem also stars as Todd Reynolds, and his flashback scenes are quite impressive and dynamic.
“On the Ride” was co-produced by Jeremy Glazer and Rebecca Stone with Jim Rash as executive producer.
