The Drive

A late night phone call sends Sam; a free-spirited pothead on a car ride with his pretentious younger sister, Penny Lane, to rekindle their broken relationship by facing their past. The unlikely pair may have their differences but ultimately they have one thing in common...their love for fried chicken. But will this be enough to bring them together again?

Director Statement

The Drive was inspired by an argument my best friend and I had while driving. Though we fight and bicker, at the end of the day we share a close unbreakable bond despite having opposite characteristics. I wanted this film to reveal a sense of love conquering the odds and the result of sacrificing pride and be able to show vulnerability. The Drive is a satirical reminder for the audience to try and see beyond the initial characters surface both in and outside of cinema
