Ride Before Dawn

Ride Before Dawn takes place on a bus journey where two siblings with widely contrasting personalities reminisce their past. Asher is the quirky and comedic sibling who takes everything lightheartedly while Ellie is the mature and logical one who takes everything critically and ensures that Asher always stays grounded.

However, as time passes it becomes clear that this is no regular bus ride.

Director Biography - Winnie Katherine

Ride Before Dawn was inspired through the concept of an experience which many go through, adding with a touch of a personal story. It brings to light the various stages of emotions that one faces throughout their life - anger, denial, and confrontation, but also subtler emotions such as acceptance, absence, and reminiscence.

Our team wanted to create a story where people are able to find that elusive middle ground between the vastly differing emotions of love and grief. With various hidden meanings in different scenes, it escalates to the significance of each respective stage. We hope that you enjoy this film as much as we enjoyed putting it together!
